I am looking for a way to get the public-facing name from Google cloud function?
Any idea if doable?
If you can also give me the Google site that list the other information about my project, it will be nice also. I could not find anything so far. :-( I will keep looking in the mean time.
Thanks
As mentioned in the comments, there's no way to retrieve the %APP_NAME% from inside the Cloud Functions since those are isolated from Firebase and reside on the GCP side. However as a workaround to avoid hardcoding you can send Environment Configuration variables through the next command:
firebase functions:config:set app.name="APP_NAME"
Then inside your Cloud Function you can retrieve your configuration variables by using:
functions.config().app.name

I am using #google-cloud/logging package to get logs from gcloud, and it works nicely, you can get logs, event (and query them if needed). But how I can get the same info as Logs Explorer? I mean different type of fields which can be queried and etc:
On this picture you see Log fields like, FUNCTION NAME which may be a list of values. And it seems that #google-cloud/logging can't get this meta (or fields info)? So is it possible to obtain it using some other APIs?
If I understand your question correctly, you're asking how Logs Viewer is determining the values that allows it to present you with the various log fields to filter|refine your log queries.
I suspect (don't know) that the viewer is building these lists from the properties as it parses the logs. This would suggest that, the lists are imperfect and that e.g. FUNCTION_NAME's would only appear once a log including the Function's name were parsed.
There is a way to enumerate definitive lists of GCP resources. This is done using list or equivalent methods available using service-specific libraries (SDKs) e.g. #google-cloud/functions.
The easiest way to understand what functionality is provided by a given Google service is to browse the service using Google's APIs Explorer. Here's Cloud Logging API v2 and here's Cloud Functions API.
You can prove to yourself that there's no method under Cloud Logging that allows enumeration of all a project's Cloud Functions. But there is a method in Cloud Functions projects.locations.functions.list. The latter returns a response body that includes a list of functions that are a type CloudFunction that have a name.
Another way to understand how these APIs ("libraries") are used is to add --log-http to any gcloud command to see what API calls are being made by the command.
It looks like when Google Cloud Storage serves the desired object for a NotFoundPage, it includes the status code 404.
Is there any way to set it so that the content is served with a 200 status? This will make it easier for any single page applications I deploy to the bucket to manage their own deep linking.
It appears as though this is currently a feature request over at the Google Cloud issue tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/151212194
I encourage anyone who arrives here to head over there and star the issue and also comment to help get this some priority.
I am new at google cloud and this is my first experience with this platform. ( Before I was using Azure )
So I am working on a c# project and the project has a requirement to save images online and for that, I created cloud storage.
not for using the services, I find our that I have to download a service account credential file and set the path of that file in the environment variable.
Which is good and working file
RxStorageClient = StorageClient.Create();
But the problem is that. my whole project is a collection of 27 different projects and that all are in the same solution and there are multi-cloud storage account involved also I want to use them with docker.
So I was wondering. is there any alternative to this service account system? like API key or connection string like Azure provides?
Because I saw this initialization function have some other options to authenticate. but didn't saw any example
RxStorageClient = StorageClient.Create();
Can anyone please provide a proper example to connect with cloud storage services without this service account file system
You can do this instead of relying on the environment variable by downloading credential files for each project you need to access.
So for example, if you have three projects that you want to access storage on, then you'd need code paths that initialize the StorageClient with the appropriate service account key from each of those projects.
StorageClient.Create() can take an optional GoogleCredential() object to authorize it (if you don't specify, it grabs the default application credentials, which, one way to set is that GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS env var).
So on GoogleCredential, check out the FromFile(String) static call, where the String is the path to the service account JSON file.
There are no examples. Service accounts are absolutely required, even if hidden from view, to deal with Google Cloud products. They're part of the IAM system for authenticating and authorizing various pieces of software for use with various products. I strongly suggest that you become familiar with the mechanisms of providing a service account to a given program. For code running outside of Google Cloud compute and serverless products, the current preferred solution involves using environment variables to point to files that contain credentials. For code running Google (like Cloud Run, Compute Engine, Cloud Functions), it's possible to provide service accounts by configuration so that the code doesn't need to do anything special.
I don't know much about web development and cloud computing. From what I've read when using Cloud functions as the webhook service for dialogflow, you are limited to write code in just 1 source file. I would like to create a real complex dialogflow agent, so It would be handy to have an organized code structure to make the development easier.
I've recently discovered Cloud run which seems like it can also handle webhook requests and makes it possible to develop a complex code structure.
I don't want to use Cloud Run just because it is inconvenient to write everything in one file, but on the other hand it would be strange to have a cloud function with a single file with thousands of lines of code.
Is it possible to have multiple files in a single cloud function?
Is cloud run suitable for my problem? (create a complex dialogflow agent)
Is it possible to have multiple files in a single cloud function?
Yes. When you deploy to Google Cloud Functions you create a bundle with all your source files or have it pull from a source repository.
But Dialogflow only allows index.js and package.json in the Built-In Editor
For simplicity, the built-in code editor only allows you to edit those two files. But the built-in editor is mostly just meant for basic testing. If you're doing serious coding, you probably already have an environment you prefer to use to code and deploy that code.
Is Cloud Run suitable?
Certainly. The biggest thing Cloud Run will get you is complete control over your runtime environment, since you're specifying the details of that environment in addition to the code.
The biggest downside, however, is that you also have to determine details of that environment. Cloud Funcitons provide an HTTPS server without you having to worry about those details, as long as the rest of the environment is suitable.
What other options do I have?
Anywhere you want! Dialogflow only requires that your webhook
Be at a public address (ie - one that Google can resolve and reach)
Runs an HTTPS server at that address with a non-self-signed certificate
During testing, it is common to run it on your own machine via a tunnel such as ngrok, but this isn't a good idea in production. If you're already familiar with running an HTTPS server in another environment, and you wish to continue using that environment, you should be fine.
I'm trying to create multiple projects inside my Organisation. My use case is:
1. I want to make an API call that creates a new project.
2. I want to create a new DialogFlow agent (chatbot).
Dialogflow API looks pretty straightforward. Since it's backend implementation, I am using service accounts to achieve this.
My problem is that when I'm trying to create a service account, it is always scoped to some project. I spent the whole day trying to give that service account all the access that I could find, but it's still giving me a Forbidden error.
Can someone explain to me if this is possible and if so - how should I configure it through the Cloud Console so that I can end up with a service account that creates projects (that can be scoped to some folder/project if it makes it easier)?
If the answer is yes - can I create multiple chatbots in one project? And what type of permissions do I need to achieve that?
Thanks!
