core/project.
This must be specified.
--instance=INSTANCE-

-
provide the argument
--region=REGION-

- FLAGS
-
--endpoint-mode=ENDPOINT_MODE-
Specifies endpoint mode for a given command. Regional endpoints provide enhanced
data residency and reliability by ensuring your request is handled entirely
within the specified Google Cloud region. This differs from global endpoints,
which may process parts of the request outside the target region. Overrides the
default
regional/endpoint_modeproperty value for this command invocation.ENDPOINT_MODEmust be one of:global- (Default) Use global rather than regional endpoints.
regional- Only use regional endpoints. An error will be raised if a regional endpoint is not available for a given command.
regional-preferred- Use regional endpoints when available, otherwise use global endpoints. Recommended for most users.
- LIST COMMAND FLAGS
-
--filter=EXPRESSION-
Apply a Boolean filter
EXPRESSIONto each resource item to be listed. If the expression evaluatesTrue, then that item is listed. For more details and examples of filter expressions, run $ gcloud topic filters. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:--flatten,--sort-by,--filter,--limit. --limit=LIMIT-
Maximum number of resources to list. The default is
unlimited. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:--flatten,--sort-by,--filter,--limit. --page-size=PAGE_SIZE-
Some services group resource list output into pages. This flag specifies the
maximum number of resources per page. The default is determined by the service
if it supports paging, otherwise it is
unlimited(no paging). Paging may be applied before or after--filterand--limitdepending on the service. --sort-by=[FIELD,…]-
Comma-separated list of resource field key names to sort by. The default order
is ascending. Prefix a field with ``~´´ for descending order on that
field. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:
--flatten,--sort-by,--filter,--limit. --uri-
Print a list of resource URIs instead of the default output, and change the
command output to a list of URIs. If this flag is used with
--format, the formatting is applied on this URI list. To display URIs alongside other keys instead, use theuri()transform.
