- NAME
- gcloud parametermanager parameters create - creates a Parameter Manager parameter
- SYNOPSIS
gcloud parametermanager parameters createPARAMETER[--labels=[LABELS,…]][--location=LOCATION][--parameter-format=PARAMETER_FORMAT][--request-id=REQUEST_ID][--kms-key=KMS_KEY:--key-ring=KEY_RING][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
- DESCRIPTION
- Creates a parameter resource with the specified name and properties. If aparameter of the given name already exists, this command will return an error.
- EXAMPLES
- To create a parameter
my-parameterin locationglobalrun:gcloudparametermanagerparameterscreatemy-parameter--location=global - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
- Parameter resource - Identifier. [Output only] The resource name of theParameter in the format
projects/*/locations/*/parameters/*. Thisrepresents a Cloud resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments inthis group but can be set in other ways.To set the
projectattribute:- provide the argument
parameteron the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--projecton the command line; - set the property
core/project.
To set the
locationattribute:- provide the argument
parameteron the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--locationon the command line.
This must be specified.
PARAMETER- ID of the parameter or fully qualified identifier for the parameter.
To set the
parameterattribute:- provide the argument

- Parameter resource - Identifier. [Output only] The resource name of theParameter in the format
- FLAGS
--labels=[LABELS,…]- Labels as key value pairs.
KEY- Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens(
-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, andnumbers. VALUE- Values must contain only hyphens (
-), underscores (_),lowercase characters, and numbers.
Shorthand Example:--labels=string=string
JSON Example:--labels='{"string": "string"}'
File Example:--labels=path_to_file.(yaml|json)
--location=LOCATION- For resources [parameter, kms-key], provides fallback value for resourcelocation attribute. When the resource's full URI path is not provided, locationwill fallback to this flag value.
--parameter-format=PARAMETER_FORMAT- Specifies the format of a Parameter.
PARAMETER_FORMATmust be one of:json- JSON format.
unformatted- Unformatted.
yaml- YAML format.
--request-id=REQUEST_ID- An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so thatif you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if ithas already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60minutes since the first request.
For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and therequest times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, theserver can check if original operation with the same request ID was received,and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients fromaccidentally creating duplicate commitments.
The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is notsupported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
- Arguments for the kms key.
- CryptoKey resource - Customer managed encryption key (CMEK) to use forencrypting the Parameter Versions. If not set, the default Google-managedencryption key will be used. Cloud KMS CryptoKeys must reside in the samelocation as the Parameter. The expected format is
projects/*/locations/*/keyRings/*/cryptoKeys/*. The arguments inthis group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Someattributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.To set the
projectattribute:- provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--projecton the command line; - set the property
core/project.
To set the
locationattribute:- provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--locationon the command line.
--kms-key=KMS_KEY- ID of the cryptoKey or fully qualified identifier for the cryptoKey.
To set the
crypto-keyattribute:- provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.
- provide the argument
--key-ring=KEY_RING- The keyRing id of the cryptoKey resource.
To set the
key-ringattribute:- provide the argument
--kms-keyon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--key-ringon the command line.
- provide the argument
