Eventarc supports applying a path pattern when filtering. The path pattern syntax lets you define an expression that matches events. This lets you control the granularity of the Eventarc trigger you are creating, and to capture and act on certain events. For example, you can create a trigger that applies to a single event, such as a change to a specific file, or you can extend the scope of the pattern and create a trigger that applies more broadly.

Apply a path pattern

You can apply a path pattern to filter events when you create a trigger using the Eventarc Google Cloud console page or by running a gcloud command.

For example, you can apply a path pattern when filtering on resource names or database instances (a single instance or a path).

For details, see the instructions to create a trigger for a specific provider, event type, and destination.

Identify if you can apply a path pattern

To confirm if you can apply a path pattern to an attribute of an event from a provider, describe the event provider. For example:

gcloud eventarc providers describe cloudaudit.googleapis.com --location=us-central1

The output is similar to the following and a pathPatternSupported value of true indicates that you can apply a path pattern:

displayName: Cloud Audit Logs
eventTypes:
- description: An audit log is created that matches the trigger's filter criteria.
  filteringAttributes:
  - attribute: methodName
    description: The identifier of the service's operation.
    required: true
  - attribute: resourceName
    description: The complete path to a resource. Used to filter events for a specific
      resource.
    pathPatternSupported: true
  - attribute: serviceName
    description: The identifier of the Google Cloud service.
    required: true
  - attribute: type
    required: true
  type: google.cloud.audit.log.v1.written
name: projects/project-name/locations/us-central1/providers/cloudaudit.googleapis.com

Or, for example:

gcloud eventarc providers describe firebasedatabase.googleapis.com --location=us-central1

Where the output is similar to the following:

displayName: Firebase Realtime Database
eventTypes:
- description: New data has been created in the database.
  filteringAttributes:
  - attribute: instance
    description: A single database instance.
    pathPatternSupported: true
    required: true
  - attribute: ref
    description: Pattern to match for the database instance.
    pathPatternSupported: true
    required: true
  - attribute: type
    required: true
  type: google.firebase.database.ref.v1.created
[...]

For more information, see gcloud eventarc providers describe.

Path pattern syntax

The path pattern syntax is defined as follows:

Pattern /? Segment (/Segment)* Segment CaptureGroup | Expression CaptureGroup { ID (= Expression)? } Expression Wildcard | MultiSegmentWildcard | NameSegment NameSegment (Character* Wildcard? Character*) ID [a-zA-Z0-9_]+ Wildcard * MultiSegmentWildcard ** Character1 [\\w\\s\\t~@#$%&.,?:;+='[]()-] Legend: ? zero or one * zero or more + one or more | OR 1

Only listed ASCII characters are supported. Regular expression matching is not supported. Supported metacharacters:

Expressions

An expression can be one of the following segment types and cannot be empty:

Note that a path can contain many single segment wildcards, but only one multiple segment wildcard. For example, the following path is invalid: /projects/**/buckets/**.

Resource regionality

Resource names can contain location identifiers. For example:

/projects/$PROJECT_ID/locations/$REGION/triggers/my-trigger

However, path pattern matching is constrained by resource regionality. For example, for Cloud Audit Logs triggers, location wildcards only match triggers from the Cloud Audit Logs region, or global triggers.

Capture groups

A CaptureGroup lets you capture the content of an expression. You do this by assigning the value to a variable name in braces; for example, buckets/{path=**}/files/{filename=file-*.txt}. A single segment wildcard can omit =* in a capture group; for example, /projects/_/buckets/{bucket}/objects/file.*

Note: Capture groups have no semantic meaning; only the syntax is supported. Resource name format

The following table provides examples of full resource names for commonly used Google Cloud services. It is not a complete list. To learn more about how full resource names are formatted, see the Resource names section of the API design guide.

Resource type Full resource name format BigQuery datasets //bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/datasets/DATASET_ID Cloud Billing accounts //cloudbilling.googleapis.com/billingAccounts/BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID Cloud Firestore documents1 //firestore.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/databases/DATABASE_ID/documents/DOCUMENT Cloud Run services //run.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/services/SERVICE_ID Cloud SQL instances //sqladmin.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/instances/INSTANCE_ID Cloud Storage buckets2 //storage.googleapis.com/projects/_/buckets/BUCKET_ID Cloud Storage objects2, 3 //storage.googleapis.com/projects/_/buckets/BUCKET_ID/objects/OBJECT_ID Compute Engine instances //compute.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/zones/ZONE/instances/INSTANCE_ID Compute Engine networks //compute.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/global/networks/NETWORK Compute Engine subnetworks //compute.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/regions/REGION/subnetworks/SUBNETWORK Google Kubernetes Engine clusters //container.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/clusters/CLUSTER_ID Identity-Aware Proxy App Engine app service //iap.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/iap_web/appengine-PROJECT_ID/services/APP_SERVICE_ID IAP Compute Engine backend service //iap.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/iap_web/compute/services/BACKEND_SERVICE_ID_OR_NAME Pub/Sub topics //pubsub.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/topics/TOPIC_ID Resource Manager organizations //cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/organizations/ORGANIZATION_NUMBER Resource Manager folders //cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/folders/FOLDER_NUMBER Resource Manager projects //cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/projects/PROJECT_ID

1 For Cloud Firestore, don't specify a leading slash when creating a trigger (see examples). For more information, see Cloud Firestore data model.

2 For Cloud Storage, resource names contain an underscore (_) rather than a project ID. You cannot replace the underscore with a project ID, project name, or project number.

3 For Cloud Storage, use the entire object name, including forward slashes. These characters are part of the object name, not path separators.

Examples

The following examples demonstrate how you can and can't use the syntax.

Valid patterns Pattern Description /projects/project-1/datasets/dataset-1 Specific resource name. /projects/project-1/regions/region-1/subnetworks/* Matches any subnetwork in project-1 and region-1. /projects/_/buckets/bucket-1/objects/*.txt Matches all TXT files in the bucket. /projects/_/buckets/bucket-1/objects/file-*.txt Matches all TXT files with prefix file- in the bucket. /projects/project-1/serviceAccounts/service-account-email-1/keys/** Matches any key for a specific service account email. /projects/_/**/file-*.txt Matches any TXT file with prefix file- for all buckets. /projects/_/buckets/bucket-*/objects/file-*.txt Matches all TXT files with prefix file- for any bucket with prefix bucket-. /projects/_/buckets/{bucket}/objects/file.*
/projects/_/buckets/{bucket=*}/objects/file.*
/projects/_/buckets/*/objects/{filename=file.*} Three different representations of the same filter. Matches any bucket with a file named file of any type. The first two examples also capture the bucket and the last example captures the filename. /projects/project-1/zones/zone-1/instances/** Matches anything in project-1 and zone-1. /projects/*/zones/zone-1/instances/** Matches anything in zone-1 in any project. Invalid patterns Pattern Description /projects/_/buckets/bucket-1/objects/ Empty expression. /projects//buckets/bucket-1/objects/file1.txt Empty expression. /projects/_/buckets/bucket**/objects/file1.txt Expression can contain only one *. /projects/_/buckets/bucket-1/objects/file-*.* Expression can contain only one *. /projects/**/buckets/** Resource path can contain only one **. /projects/_/buckets/{=*}/objects/file1.txt Missing ID in segment. /projects/_/buckets/{bucket=}/objects/file1.txt Empty expression inside a capture group. /projects/_/buckets/{bucket/objects/file1.txt Capture group not closed.
