Use the API - RecommendationsThis page explains how to view and manage recommendations in Recommender using gcloud
commands or the REST API.
A typical recommendation interaction with the Recommender API is:
gcloud
commands or REST API calls specific to the resource type (for example, IAM roles or Compute Engine VM instances).Note that only recommendations retrieved through the API can be interacted with via the API or BigQuery Export.
For information about changing the state of recommendations in the Google Cloud console, refer to the documentation for Recommendation Hub or for the appropriate recommender.
Warning:Before applying recommendations in the Google Cloud console or using the API, ensure that impacts are assessed by a reviewer. The reviewer should have the knowledge to assess impacts identified in recommendations, as well as impacts specific to your infrastructure and business. Applying recommendations without proper assessment could result in unexpected changes, such as issues with system performance, poor reliability, or loss of required permissions. If you choose to apply recommendations without human review, ensure that you have set up a rollback process before making any changes.
Set the default projectSet the default project if you haven't done so already:
gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID
where PROJECT_ID is the ID of your project.
Set environment variablesSet environment variables for Recommender interactions:
PROJECT=TARGET_PROJECT_ID LOCATION=LOCATION_ID RECOMMENDER=RECOMMENDER_ID
where:
TARGET_PROJECT_ID is the project whose recommendations you want to list. This can be a different project than your current project.
gcloud
commands, you must use the project IDThe project number is returned in responses from both the API and gcloud
commands.
LOCATION_ID is the Google Cloud location where resources associated with the recommendations are located (for example, global
or us-central1-a
).
RECOMMENDER_ID is the fully-qualified recommender ID (for example, google.compute.instance.MachineTypeRecommender
).
See Recommenders for a table of links to information about each recommender, including supported locations and recommender IDs.
Set permissionsYou must have permissions to access recommendations in the target project.
serviceusage.services.use
permission. The Service Usage Consumer role contains the required permission.x-goog-user-project
header or userProject
query string parameter in your request, you must have serviceusage.services.use
permission for the project ID that you specify, in addition to the normal IAM permissions required to make the request. List recommendations
As shown in the gcloud Beta tab, you can list all of your project's recommendations without having to specify a location and recommender. This feature is in Preview.
The GA feature requires that you specify a project, location, and recommender. For details, see the gcloud tab.

Enter the following:
gcloud beta recommender recommendations list \ --project=${PROJECT} \ --format=FORMAT
where FORMAT is a supported gcloud
output format, such as json
.
For example:
gcloud beta recommender recommendations list \ --project=example-project \ --format=jsonNote: Unlike the following output for the gcloud and REST tabs, which is limited to recommendations for a location and recommender, the output will include all recommendations for the project. gcloud
Enter the following:
gcloud recommender recommendations list \ --project=${PROJECT} \ --location=${LOCATION} \ --recommender=${RECOMMENDER} \ --format=FORMAT
where FORMAT is a supported gcloud
output format (for example, json
).
For example:
gcloud recommender recommendations list \ --project=example-project \ --location=us-central1-a \ --recommender=google.compute.instance.MachineTypeRecommender \ --format=jsonREST
Enter the following:
curl \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \ -H "x-goog-user-project: ${PROJECT}" \ "https://recommender.googleapis.com/v1/projects/${PROJECT}/locations/${LOCATION}/recommenders/${RECOMMENDER}/recommendations"
For example:
curl \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \ -H "x-goog-user-project: example-project" \ "https://recommender.googleapis.com/v1/projects/example-project/locations/us-central1-a/recommenders/google.compute.instance.MachineTypeRecommender/recommendations"
This operation outputs the current VM instance sizing recommendations in the target project as a list of Recommendation
entities in the specified format.
The output is similar to the following:
[ { "content": { "operationGroups": [ { "operations": [ { "action": "test", "path": "/machineType", "resource": "//compute.googleapis.com/projects/example-project/zones/us-central1-a/instances/instance-1", "resourceType": "compute.googleapis.com/Instance", "valueMatcher": { "matchesPattern": ".*zones/us-central1-a/machineTypes/n1-standard-4" } }, { "action": "replace", "path": "/machineType", "resource": "//compute.googleapis.com/projects/example-project/zones/us-central1-a/instances/instance-1", "resourceType": "compute.googleapis.com/Instance", "value": "zones/us-central1-a/machineTypes/custom-2-5120" } ] } ] }, "description": "Save cost by changing machine type from n1-standard-4 to custom-2-5120.", "etag": "\"280b34810bba8a1a\"", "lastRefreshTime": "2019-06-28T06:49:21Z", "name": "projects/32428390823/locations/us-central1-a/recommenders/google.compute.instance.MachineTypeRecommender/recommendations/a523ff7e-ed03-4143-a3a5-5b396b99cba9", "primaryImpact": { ... }, "stateInfo": { "state": "ACTIVE" }, "recommenderSubtype": "CHANGE_MACHINE_TYPE" } ]
Note that the returned recommendations include the following fields:
A name
field in the following format:
projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/recommenders/RECOMMENDER_ID/recommendations/RECOMMENDATION_ID
where RECOMMENDATION_ID uniquely identifies the recommendation
An etag
field that is associated with the current recommendation state.
When you reference a recommendation using subsequent Google Cloud CLI
commands or REST API calls, you reference both the recommendation ID and etag, which makes sure that any operations are performed only if the recommendation has not been modified since you last retrieved it.
You can mark a recommendation as claimed to indicate that you intend to apply the recommended changes to the associated resource. When a recommendation is claimed, your user name is assigned as the actor for the recommendation, and Recommender does not update the recommendation with newer content.
You can mark a recommendation as dismissed to indicate that you do not intend to apply the recommended changes to the associated resource or that you do not want to continue to see the recommendation. When a recommendation is dismissed, it will no longer appear as an ACTIVE recommendation. Recommender may continue to update the recommendation with newer content.
To mark a recommendation as claimed or dismissed:
gcloudEnter the following:
gcloud recommender recommendations STATE_CHANGE \ RECOMMENDATION_ID \ --project=${PROJECT} \ --location=${LOCATION} \ --recommender=${RECOMMENDER} \ --etag=etag \ --state-metadata=STATE_METADATA --format=FORMAT
Where:
mark-claimed

This operation returns the Recommendation
entity in the specified format after the operation has taken place.
The output is similar to the following:
{ "content": { "operationGroups": [ ... ] }, "description": "Save cost by changing machine type from n1-standard-4 to custom-2-5120.", "etag": "\"5e3a63cccf1e0964\"", "lastRefreshTime": "2019-06-28T06:49:21Z", "name": "projects/32428390823/locations/us-central1-a/recommenders/google.compute.instance.MachineTypeRecommender/recommendations/a523ff7e-ed03-4143-a3a5-5b396b99cba9", "primaryImpact": { ... }, "stateInfo": { "state": "CLAIMED" } }
Note that the value of the state
field has changed to CLAIMED
.
After you have marked a recommendation as claimed, you can apply the recommendation using gcloud
commands or REST API calls that are specific to the resource type.
For example, to change the size of a VM instance in response to a recommendation from the VM instance sizing recommender, you use Compute Engine gcloud
commands or calls to the Compute Engine REST API.
When you perform these operations, you identify the target resource using the value of the resource
field in the OperationsGroup
array in the returned Recommendation
entity. This field is in the following format:
//API_NAME/RESOURCE_PATH
For example:
//compute.googleapis.com/projects/example-project/zones/us-central1-a/instances/instance-1"Changing the state of a recommendation
After you have applied a recommendation, you can mark it as succeeded or failed.
