NAME
gcloud compute url-maps add-path-matcher - add a path matcher to a URL map
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute url-maps add-path-matcherURL_MAP--path-matcher-name=PATH_MATCHER_NAME(--default-backend-bucket=DEFAULT_BACKEND_BUCKET    |--default-service=DEFAULT_SERVICE)[--backend-bucket-path-rules=PATH=BUCKET,[PATH=BUCKET,…]][--backend-service-path-rules=PATH=SERVICE,[…]][--delete-orphaned-path-matcher][--description=DESCRIPTION][--path-rules=PATH=SERVICE,[…]][--existing-host=EXISTING_HOST    |--new-hosts=NEW_HOST,[NEW_HOST,…]][--global    |--region=REGION][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute url-maps add-path-matcher is used to add a pathmatcher to a URL map. A path matcher maps HTTP request paths to backend servicesor backend buckets. Each path matcher must be referenced by at least one hostrule. This command can create a new host rule through the--new-hosts flag or it can reconfigure an existing host rule topoint to the newly added path matcher using--existing-host. In thelatter case, if a path matcher is orphaned as a result of the operation, thiscommand will fail unless--delete-orphaned-path-matcher isprovided. Path matcher constraints can be foundhere.
EXAMPLES
To create a rule for mapping the path/search/* to the hypotheticalsearch-service,/static/* to thestatic-bucket backend bucket and/images/* to theimages-service under the hostsexample.com and*.example.com, run:
gcloudcomputeurl-mapsadd-path-matcherMY-URL-MAP--path-matcher-name=MY-MATCHER--default-service=MY-DEFAULT-SERVICE--backend-service-path-rules='/search/*=search_service,/images/*=images-service'--backend-bucket-path-rules='/static/*=static-bucket'--new-hosts=example.com'*.example.com'

Note that a default service or default backend bucket must be provided to handlepaths for which there is no mapping.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
URL_MAP
Name of the URL map to operate on.
REQUIRED FLAGS
--path-matcher-name=PATH_MATCHER_NAME
The name to assign to the path matcher.
Exactly one of these must be specified:
--default-backend-bucket=DEFAULT_BACKEND_BUCKET
A backend bucket that will be used for requests that the path matcher cannotmatch. Exactly one of --default-service or --default-backend-bucket is required.
--default-service=DEFAULT_SERVICE
A backend service that will be used for requests that the path matcher cannotmatch. Exactly one of --default-service or --default-backend-bucket is required.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--backend-bucket-path-rules=PATH=BUCKET,[PATH=BUCKET,…]
Rules for mapping request paths to backend buckets.
--backend-service-path-rules=PATH=SERVICE,[…]
Rules for mapping request paths to services.
--delete-orphaned-path-matcher
If provided and a path matcher is orphaned as a result of this command, thecommand removes the orphaned path matcher instead of failing.
--description=DESCRIPTION
An optional, textual description for the path matcher.
--path-rules=PATH=SERVICE,[…]
Rules for mapping request paths to services.
At most one of these can be specified:
--existing-host=EXISTING_HOST
An existing host rule to tie the new path matcher to. Although host rules cancontain more than one host, only a single host is needed to uniquely identifythe host rule.
--new-hosts=NEW_HOST,[NEW_HOST,…]
If specified, a new host rule with the given hosts is created and the pathmatcher is tied to the new host rule.
At most one of these can be specified:
--global
If set, the URL map is global.
--region=REGION
Region of the URL map to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted toselect a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set thecompute/region property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/regionREGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputeregionslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands:--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.
