I'm trying to list info about some instances using cloud sdk, but for some reason the createTime
field is not returned. Any idea why?
$ gcloud compute instances list --format="table(name,createTime)" --filter="name:florin*"
NAME CREATE_TIME
florin-ubuntu-18-playground
This should work according to this https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/filters
The command gcloud compute instances list
does not show the instances creation time by default. But the gcloud --format
flag can change the default output displayed.
gcloud compute instances list --format="table(name,creationTimestamp)"
It is also possible to retrieve the instance creation time from the gcloud compute describe command:
gcloud compute instances describe yourInstance --zone=yourInstanceZone | grep creationTimestamp
Or:
gcloud compute instances describe yourInstance --zone=yourInstanceZone --flatten=creationTimestamp
