Method: urlMaps.patch

Patches the specified UrlMap resource with the data included in the request. This method supportsPATCH semantics and uses theJSON merge patch format and processing rules.

HTTP request

PATCH https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/global/urlMaps/{urlMap}

The URL usesgRPC Transcoding syntax. To know more about valid error responses that can be thrown by this HTTP request, please refer to theservice error catalog

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.

urlMap

string

Name of the UrlMap resource to patch.

Query parameters

Parameters
requestId

string

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a validUUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

object

customErrorResponsePolicy specifies how the Load Balancer returns error responses whenBackendServiceorBackendBucket responds with an error.

If a policy for an error code is not configured for thePathRule, a policy for the error code configured inpathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is applied. If one is not specified inpathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy, the policy configured inUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

For example, consider a UrlMap with the following configuration:

  • UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy are configured with policies for5xx and4xx errors
  • A PathRule for/coming_soon/ is configured for the error code404.

If the request is forwww.myotherdomain.com and a404 is encountered, the policy underUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If a404 response is encountered for the requestwww.example.com/current_events/, the pathMatcher's policy takes effect. If however, the request forwww.example.com/coming_soon/ encounters a404, the policy inPathRule.customErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If any of the requests in this example encounter a500 error code, the policy atUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

Specifies rules for returning error responses.

In a given policy, if you specify rules for both a range of error codes as well as rules for specific error codes then rules with specific error codes have a higher priority. For example, assume that you configure a rule for401 (Un-authorized) code, and another for all 4 series error codes(4XX). If the backend service returns a401, then the rule for401 will be applied. However if the backend service returns a403, the rule for4xx takes effect.

customErrorResponsePolicy specifies how the Load Balancer returns error responses whenBackendServiceorBackendBucket responds with an error.

If a policy for an error code is not configured for theRouteRule, a policy for the error code configured inpathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is applied. If one is not specified inpathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy, the policy configured inUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

For example, consider a UrlMap with the following configuration:

  • UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy are configured with policies for5xx and4xx errors
  • A RouteRule for/coming_soon/ is configured for the error code404.

If the request is forwww.myotherdomain.com and a404 is encountered, the policy underUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If a404 response is encountered for the requestwww.example.com/current_events/, the pathMatcher's policy takes effect. If however, the request forwww.example.com/coming_soon/ encounters a404, the policy inRouteRule.customErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If any of the requests in this example encounter a500 error code, the policy atUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

When used in conjunction withrouteRules.routeAction.retryPolicy, retries take precedence. Only once all retries are exhausted, thecustomErrorResponsePolicy is applied. While attempting a retry, ifload balancer is successful in reaching the service, thecustomErrorResponsePolicy is ignored and the response from the service is returned to the client.

customErrorResponsePolicy is supported only for global external Application Load Balancers.

object

Specifies rules for returning error responses.

In a given policy, if you specify rules for both a range of error codes as well as rules for specific error codes then rules with specific error codes have a higher priority. For example, assume that you configure a rule for401 (Un-authorized) code, and another for all 4 series error codes(4XX). If the backend service returns a401, then the rule for401 will be applied. However if the backend service returns a403, the rule for4xx takes effect.

pathMatchers[].routeRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].matchResponseCodes[]

string

Valid values include:

  • A number between 400 and 599: For example401 or503, in which case the load balancer applies the policy if the error code exactly matches this value.
  • 5xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of500 to599.
  • 4xx: Load Balancer will apply the policy if the backend service responds with any response code in the range of400 to499.

Values must be unique within matchResponseCodes and across allerrorResponseRules ofCustomErrorResponsePolicy.

pathMatchers[].routeRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].path

string

The value must be from1 to1024 characters

pathMatchers[].routeRules[].customErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[].overrideResponseCode

integer

The HTTP status code returned with the response containing the custom error content. IfoverrideResponseCode is not supplied, the same response code returned by the original backend bucket or backend service is returned to the client.

string

The full or partial URL to theBackendBucket resource that contains the custom error content. Examples are:

IferrorService is not specified at lower levels likepathMatcher,pathRule androuteRule, anerrorService specified at a higher level in theUrlMap will be used. IfUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy contains one or moreerrorResponseRules[], it must specifyerrorService.

Ifload balancer cannot reach thebackendBucket, a simpleNot Found Error will be returned, with the original response code (oroverrideResponseCode if configured).

errorService is not supported for internal or regionalHTTP/HTTPS load balancers.

.

pathMatchers[].defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy

object

defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy specifies how the Load Balancer returns error responses whenBackendServiceorBackendBucket responds with an error.

This policy takes effect at thePathMatcher level and applies only when no policy has been defined for the error code at lower levels likeRouteRule andPathRule within thisPathMatcher. If an error code does not have a policy defined indefaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy, then a policy defined for the error code inUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

For example, consider a UrlMap with the following configuration:

  • UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is configured with policies for5xx and4xx errors
  • A RouteRule for/coming_soon/ is configured for the error code404.

If the request is forwww.myotherdomain.com and a404 is encountered, the policy underUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If a404 response is encountered for the requestwww.example.com/current_events/, the pathMatcher's policy takes effect. If however, the request forwww.example.com/coming_soon/ encounters a404, the policy inRouteRule.customErrorResponsePolicy takes effect. If any of the requests in this example encounter a500 error code, the policy atUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

When used in conjunction withpathMatcher.defaultRouteAction.retryPolicy, retries take precedence. Only once all retries are exhausted, thedefaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is applied. While attempting a retry, ifload balancer is successful in reaching the service, thedefaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is ignored and the response from the service is returned to the client.

defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is supported only for global external Application Load Balancers.

pathMatchers[].defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy.errorResponseRules[]

object

Specifies rules for returning error responses.

In a given policy, if you specify rules for both a range of error codes as well as rules for specific error codes then rules with specific error codes have a higher priority. For example, assume that you configure a rule for401 (Un-authorized) code, and another for all 4 series error codes(4XX). If the backend service returns a401, then the rule for401 will be applied. However if the backend service returns a403, the rule for4xx takes effect.

defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy

object

defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy specifies how the Load Balancer returns error responses whenBackendServiceorBackendBucket responds with an error.

This policy takes effect at the load balancer level and applies only when no policy has been defined for the error code at lower levels like PathMatcher, RouteRule and PathRule within this UrlMap.

For example, consider a UrlMap with the following configuration:

  • defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy containing policies for responding to5xx and4xx errors
  • A PathMatcher configured for*.example.com hasdefaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy for4xx.

If a request forhttp://www.example.com/ encounters a404, the policy inpathMatcher.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy will be enforced. When the request forhttp://www.example.com/ encounters a502, the policy inUrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy will be enforced. When a request that does not match any host in*.example.com such ashttp://www.myotherexample.com/, encounters a404,UrlMap.defaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy takes effect.

When used in conjunction withdefaultRouteAction.retryPolicy, retries take precedence. Only once all retries are exhausted, thedefaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is applied. While attempting a retry, ifload balancer is successful in reaching the service, thedefaultCustomErrorResponsePolicy is ignored and the response from the service is returned to the client.

In a given policy, if you specify rules for both a range of error codes as well as rules for specific error codes then rules with specific error codes have a higher priority. For example, assume that you configure a rule for401 (Un-authorized) code, and another for all 4 series error codes(4XX). If the backend service returns a401, then the rule for401 will be applied. However if the backend service returns a403, the rule for4xx takes effect.

error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.reason

string

The reason of the error. This is a constant value that identifies the proximate cause of the error. Error reasons are unique within a particular domain of errors. This should be at most 63 characters and match a regular expression of[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+[A-Z0-9], which represents UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.

error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.domain

string

The logical grouping to which the "reason" belongs. The error domain is typically the registered service name of the tool or product that generates the error. Example: "pubsub.googleapis.com".
