The maximum number of results per page that should be returned. If the number of available results is larger than |
pageToken |
Specifies a page token to use. Set |
filter |
A filter expression that filters resources listed in the response. Most Compute resources support two types of filter expressions: expressions that support regular expressions and expressions that follow API improvement proposal AIP-160. These two types of filter expressions cannot be mixed in one request. If you want to use AIP-160, your expression must specify the field name, an operator, and the value that you want to use for filtering. The value must be a string, a number, or a boolean. The operator must be either For example, if you are filtering Compute Engine instances, you can exclude instances named The You can also filter nested fields. For example, you could specify To filter on multiple expressions, provide each separate expression within parentheses. For example: By default, each expression is an If you want to use a regular expression, use the
The literal value is interpreted as a regular expression using Google RE2 library syntax. The literal value must match the entire field. For example, to filter for instances that do not end with name "instance", you would use You cannot combine constraints on multiple fields using regular expressions. |
orderBy |
Sorts list results by a certain order. By default, results are returned in alphanumerical order based on the resource name. You can also sort results in descending order based on the creation timestamp using Currently, only sorting by |
returnPartialSuccess |
Opt-in for partial success behavior which provides partial results in case of failure. The default value is false. For example, when partial success behavior is enabled, aggregatedList for a single zone scope either returns all resources in the zone or no resources, with an error code. |

kindstring
Output only. Type of resource. Always compute#firewallList for lists of firewalls.
idstring
Output only. Unique identifier for the resource; defined by the server.
items[]object
A list of Firewall resources.
items[].kindstring
Output only. Type of the resource. Always compute#firewall for firewall rules.
items[].idstring (uint64 format)
Output only. The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
items[].creationTimestampstring
Output only. Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
items[].namestring
Name of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?. The first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters (except for the last character) must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit. The last character must be a lowercase letter or digit.
items[].descriptionstring
An optional description of this resource. Provide this field when you create the resource.
items[].networkstring
URL of the network resource for this firewall rule. If not specified when creating a firewall rule, the default network is used:
global/networks/default
https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/myproject/global/networks/my-networkprojects/myproject/global/networks/my-networkglobal/networks/defaultitems[].priorityinteger
Priority for this rule. This is an integer between 0 and 65535, both inclusive. The default value is 1000. Relative priorities determine which rule takes effect if multiple rules apply. Lower values indicate higher priority. For example, a rule with priority 0 has higher precedence than a rule with priority 1. DENY rules take precedence over ALLOW rules if they have equal priority. Note that VPC networks have implied rules with a priority of 65535. To avoid conflicts with the implied rules, use a priority number less than 65535.
items[].sourceRanges[]string
If source ranges are specified, the firewall rule applies only to traffic that has a source IP address in these ranges. These ranges must be expressed in CIDR format. One or both of sourceRanges and sourceTags may be set. If both fields are set, the rule applies to traffic that has a source IP address within sourceRanges OR a source IP from a resource with a matching tag listed in the sourceTags field. The connection does not need to match both fields for the rule to apply. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
items[].destinationRanges[]string
If destination ranges are specified, the firewall rule applies only to traffic that has destination IP address in these ranges. These ranges must be expressed in CIDR format. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
items[].sourceTags[]string
If source tags are specified, the firewall rule applies only to traffic with source IPs that match the primary network interfaces of VM instances that have the tag and are in the same VPC network. Source tags cannot be used to control traffic to an instance's external IP address, it only applies to traffic between instances in the same virtual network. Because tags are associated with instances, not IP addresses. One or both of sourceRanges and sourceTags may be set. If both fields are set, the firewall applies to traffic that has a source IP address within sourceRanges OR a source IP from a resource with a matching tag listed in the sourceTags field. The connection does not need to match both fields for the firewall to apply.
items[].targetTags[]string
A list of tags that controls which instances the firewall rule applies to. If targetTags are specified, then the firewall rule applies only to instances in the VPC network that have one of those tags. If no targetTags are specified, the firewall rule applies to all instances on the specified network.
items[].sourceServiceAccounts[]string
If source service accounts are specified, the firewall rules apply only to traffic originating from an instance with a service account in this list. Source service accounts cannot be used to control traffic to an instance's external IP address because service accounts are associated with an instance, not an IP address. sourceRanges can be set at the same time as sourceServiceAccounts. If both are set, the firewall applies to traffic that has a source IP address within the sourceRanges OR a source IP that belongs to an instance with service account listed in sourceServiceAccount. The connection does not need to match both fields for the firewall to apply. sourceServiceAccounts cannot be used at the same time as sourceTags or targetTags.
items[].targetServiceAccounts[]string
A list of service accounts indicating sets of instances located in the network that may make network connections as specified in allowed[]. targetServiceAccounts cannot be used at the same time as targetTags or sourceTags. If neither targetServiceAccounts nor targetTags are specified, the firewall rule applies to all instances on the specified network.
items[].allowed[]object
The list of ALLOW rules specified by this firewall. Each rule specifies a protocol and port-range tuple that describes a permitted connection.
items[].allowed[].IPProtocolstring
The IP protocol to which this rule applies. The protocol type is required when creating a firewall rule. This value can either be one of the following well known protocol strings (tcp, udp, icmp, esp, ah, ipip, sctp) or the IP protocol number.
items[].allowed[].ports[]string
An optional list of ports to which this rule applies. This field is only applicable for the UDP or TCP protocol. Each entry must be either an integer or a range. If not specified, this rule applies to connections through any port.
Example inputs include: ["22"], ["80","443"], and ["12345-12349"].
items[].denied[]object
The list of DENY rules specified by this firewall. Each rule specifies a protocol and port-range tuple that describes a denied connection.
items[].denied[].IPProtocolstring
The IP protocol to which this rule applies. The protocol type is required when creating a firewall rule. This value can either be one of the following well known protocol strings (tcp, udp, icmp, esp, ah, ipip, sctp) or the IP protocol number.
items[].denied[].ports[]string
An optional list of ports to which this rule applies. This field is only applicable for the UDP or TCP protocol. Each entry must be either an integer or a range. If not specified, this rule applies to connections through any port.
Example inputs include: ["22"], ["80","443"], and ["12345-12349"].
items[].directionenum
Direction of traffic to which this firewall applies, either INGRESS or EGRESS. The default is INGRESS. For EGRESS traffic, you cannot specify the sourceTags fields.
items[].enableLogging
(deprecated)boolean
Deprecated in favor of enable in LogConfig. This field denotes whether to enable logging for a particular firewall rule. If logging is enabled, logs will be exported t Cloud Logging.
items[].logConfigobject
This field denotes the logging options for a particular firewall rule. If logging is enabled, logs will be exported to Cloud Logging.
items[].logConfig.enableboolean
This field denotes whether to enable logging for a particular firewall rule.
items[].logConfig.metadataenum
This field can only be specified for a particular firewall rule if logging is enabled for that rule. This field denotes whether to include or exclude metadata for firewall logs.
items[].disabledboolean
Denotes whether the firewall rule is disabled. When set to true, the firewall rule is not enforced and the network behaves as if it did not exist. If this is unspecified, the firewall rule will be enabled.
items[].selfLinkstring
Output only. Server-defined URL for the resource.
items[].paramsobject
Input only. [Input Only] Additional params passed with the request, but not persisted as part of resource payload.
items[].params.resourceManagerTagsmap (key: string, value: string)
nextPageTokenstring
Output only. This token allows you to get the next page of results for list requests. If the number of results is larger than maxResults, use the nextPageToken as a value for the query parameter pageToken in the next list request. Subsequent list requests will have their own nextPageToken to continue paging through the results.
selfLinkstring
Output only. Server-defined URL for this resource.
warningobject
Output only. Informational warning message.
warning.codeenum
Output only. A warning code, if applicable. For example, Compute Engine returns NO_RESULTS_ON_PAGE if there are no results in the response.

"data": [ { "key": "scope", "value": "zones/us-east1-d" }warning.data[].keystring
Output only. A key that provides more detail on the warning being returned. For example, for warnings where there are no results in a list request for a particular zone, this key might be scope and the key value might be the zone name. Other examples might be a key indicating a deprecated resource and a suggested replacement, or a warning about invalid network settings (for example, if an instance attempts to perform IP forwarding but is not enabled for IP forwarding).
warning.data[].valuestring
Output only. A warning data value corresponding to the key.
