An idiomatic C++ client library for theOS Config API, a service for patch management, patch compliance, and configuration management on VM instances.

While this library isGA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries donot followSemantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/cloud/osconfig/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the OS Config API C++ client library API.

#include "google/cloud/osconfig/v1/os_config_client.h"#include "google/cloud/project.h"#include <iostream>int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {  if (argc != 2) {    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";    return 1;  }  namespace osconfig = ::google::cloud::osconfig_v1;  auto client = osconfig::OsConfigServiceClient(      osconfig::MakeOsConfigServiceConnection());  auto const project = google::cloud::Project(argv[1]);  for (auto p : client.ListPatchJobs(project.FullName())) {    if (!p) throw std::move(p).status();    std::cout << p->DebugString() << "\n";  }  return 0;} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";  return 1;}

Main classes

This library offers multiple*Client classes, which are listed below. Each one of these classes exposes all the RPCs for a service as member functions of the class. This library groups multiple services because they are part of the same product or are often used together. A typical example may be the administrative and data plane operations for a single product.

The library also has other classes that provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock the*Client classes when testing your application.

• osconfig_agentendpoint_v1::AgentEndpointServiceClient
• osconfig_v1::OsConfigServiceClient
• osconfig_v1::OsConfigZonalServiceClient
