GlobalOperations

Represents a GlobalOperations resource. 

Global operations are any operations that are performed on global resources, such as images, zones, networks, firewalls, kernels, and snapshots. For example, inserting an image is considered a global operation because you are inserting a global resource. Inserting an instance is considered a per-zone operation, because you are inserting a per-zone resource.

Global operations are indicated by the term global in the URI.

For a list of methods for this resource, see the end of this page.

Property name Value Description Notes
clientOperationId string [Output Only] An optional identifier specified by the client when the mutation was initiated. Must be unique for all operation resources in the project
creationTimestamp string [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
endTime string [Output Only] The time that this operation was completed. This is in RFC3339 text format.
error object [Output Only] If errors are generated during processing of the operation, this field will be populated.
error.errors[] list [Output Only] The array of errors encountered while processing this operation.
error.errors[].code string [Output Only] The error type identifier for this error.
error.errors[].location string [Output Only] Indicates the field in the request which caused the error. This property is optional.
error.errors[].message string [Output Only] An optional, human-readable error message.
httpErrorMessage string [Output Only] If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error message that was returned, such as NOT FOUND.
httpErrorStatusCode integer [Output Only] If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error message that was returned, such as 404.
id unsigned long [Output Only] Unique identifier for the resource; defined by the server.
