Synopsis ¶

A scheduled job that can publish a pubsub message or a http request every X interval of time, using crontab format string.
To use Cloud Scheduler your project must contain an App Engine app that is located in one of the supported regions. If your project does not have an App Engine app, you must create one.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.6
requests >= 2.18.4
google-auth >= 1.3.0

Parameters ¶

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
app_engine_http_target dictionary				App Engine HTTP target. If the job providers a App Engine HTTP target the cron will send a request to the service instance .
	app_engine_routing dictionary			App Engine Routing setting for the job.
		instance string		App instance. By default, the job is sent to an instance which is available when the job is attempted.
		service string		App service. By default, the job is sent to the service which is the default service when the job is attempted.
		version string		App version. By default, the job is sent to the version which is the default version when the job is attempted.
	body string			HTTP request body. A request body is allowed only if the HTTP method is POST or PUT. It will result in invalid argument error to set a body on a job with an incompatible HttpMethod.
	headers dictionary			HTTP request headers. This map contains the header field names and values. Headers can be set when the job is created.
	http_method string			Which HTTP method to use for the request.
	relative_uri string / required			The relative URI.
auth_kind string / required			Choices: application machineaccount serviceaccount	The type of credential used.
description string				A human-readable description for the job. This string must not contain more than 500 characters.
env_type string				Specifies which Ansible environment you're running this module within. This should not be set unless you know what you're doing. This only alters the User Agent string for any API requests.
http_target dictionary				HTTP target. If the job providers a http_target the cron will send a request to the targeted url .
	body string			HTTP request body. A request body is allowed only if the HTTP method is POST, PUT, or PATCH. It is an error to set body on a job with an incompatible HttpMethod.
	headers dictionary			This map contains the header field names and values. Repeated headers are not supported, but a header value can contain commas.
	http_method string			Which HTTP method to use for the request.
	oauth_token dictionary			Contains information needed for generating an OAuth token. This type of authorization should be used when sending requests to a GCP endpoint.
		scope string		OAuth scope to be used for generating OAuth access token. If not specified, "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform" will be used.
		service_account_email string		Service account email to be used for generating OAuth token. The service account must be within the same project as the job.
	oidc_token dictionary			Contains information needed for generating an OpenID Connect token. This type of authorization should be used when sending requests to third party endpoints or Cloud Run.
		audience string		Audience to be used when generating OIDC token. If not specified, the URI specified in target will be used.
		service_account_email string		Service account email to be used for generating OAuth token. The service account must be within the same project as the job.
	uri string / required			The full URI path that the request will be sent to.
name string / required				The name of the job.
project string				The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
pubsub_target dictionary				Pub/Sub target If the job providers a Pub/Sub target the cron will publish a message to the provided topic .
	attributes dictionary			Attributes for PubsubMessage. Pubsub message must contain either non-empty data, or at least one attribute.
	data string			The message payload for PubsubMessage. Pubsub message must contain either non-empty data, or at least one attribute.
	topic_name string / required			The name of the Cloud Pub/Sub topic to which messages will be published when a job is delivered. The topic name must be in the same format as required by PubSub's PublishRequest.name, for example projects/PROJECT_ID/topics/TOPIC_ID.
region string / required				Region where the scheduler job resides .
retry_config dictionary				By default, if a job does not complete successfully, meaning that an acknowledgement is not received from the handler, then it will be retried with exponential backoff according to the settings .
	max_backoff_duration string			The maximum amount of time to wait before retrying a job after it fails. A duration in seconds with up to nine fractional digits, terminated by 's'.
	max_doublings integer			The time between retries will double maxDoublings times. A job's retry interval starts at minBackoffDuration, then doubles maxDoublings times, then increases linearly, and finally retries retries at intervals of maxBackoffDuration up to retryCount times.
	max_retry_duration string			The time limit for retrying a failed job, measured from time when an execution was first attempted. If specified with retryCount, the job will be retried until both limits are reached. A duration in seconds with up to nine fractional digits, terminated by 's'.
	min_backoff_duration string			The minimum amount of time to wait before retrying a job after it fails. A duration in seconds with up to nine fractional digits, terminated by 's'.
	retry_count integer			The number of attempts that the system will make to run a job using the exponential backoff procedure described by maxDoublings. Values greater than 5 and negative values are not allowed.
schedule string				Describes the schedule on which the job will be executed.
scopes list				Array of scopes to be used.
service_account_contents jsonarg				The contents of a Service Account JSON file, either in a dictionary or as a JSON string that represents it.
service_account_email string				An optional service account email address if machineaccount is selected and the user does not wish to use the default email.
service_account_file path				The path of a Service Account JSON file if serviceaccount is selected as type.
state string			Choices: present ← absent	Whether the given object should exist in GCP
time_zone string			Default: "Etc/UTC"	Specifies the time zone to be used in interpreting schedule. The value of this field must be a time zone name from the tz database.
