Google Cloud Platform - How to filter instances.list by tag?












0















I'm trying to filter list of instances by tag name



What works perfectly with gcloud, e.g.



gcloud compute instances list --filter 'tags.items=firewall-client-mongodb'


Does not work with API, which always returns 400:



{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "invalid",
"message": "Invalid value for field 'filter': 'tags.items = test'. Invalid list filter expression."
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "Invalid value for field 'filter': 'tags.items = test'. Invalid list filter expression."
}
}


Is there any way to filter instances by tag, or any user defined variable? I'm testing with
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances/list

  • I found out, that wildcard works in API, e.g. name=web*. Better than nothing :-)

  • Alternatively, you could consider using labels. You can filter by labels using the API - ex: cloud.google.com/compute/docs/labeling-resources#filter

I was able to reproduce the issue and got the same error you got. This seems to be an issue with the API.
I would recommend you to Create new Compute Engine issue using this link for issue trackers.
