DESCRIPTION
Update the metadata and/or configuration parameters of a Looker instance.

This command can fail for the following reasons:

  • The instance specified does not exist.
  • The active account does not have permission to update the given instance.
EXAMPLES
To update the maintenance window to Sunday at 11:00 PM for a Looker instancewith the namemy-looker-instance, run:
gcloudlookerinstancesupdatemy-looker-instance--maintenance-window-day=sunday--maintenance-window-time='23:00'--async
