» google_storage_notification

Creates a new notification configuration on a specified bucket, establishing a flow of event notifications from GCS to a Cloud Pub/Sub topic. For more information see the official documentation and API.

In order to enable notifications, a special Google Cloud Storage service account unique to the project must have the IAM permission "projects.topics.publish" for a Cloud Pub/Sub topic in the project. To get the service account's email address, use the google_storage_project_service_account datasource's email_address value, and see below for an example of enabling notifications by granting the correct IAM permission. See the notifications documentation for more details.

» Example Usage

resource "google_storage_notification" "notification" {
    bucket            = "${google_storage_bucket.bucket.name}"
    payload_format    = "JSON_API_V1"
    topic             = "${google_pubsub_topic.topic.id}"
    event_types       = ["OBJECT_FINALIZE", "OBJECT_METADATA_UPDATE"]
    custom_attributes = {
        new-attribute = "new-attribute-value"
    }
    depends_on        = ["google_pubsub_topic_iam_binding.binding"]
}

// Enable notifications by giving the correct IAM permission to the unique service account.

data "google_storage_project_service_account" "gcs_account" {}

resource "google_pubsub_topic_iam_binding" "binding" {
    topic       = "${google_pubsub_topic.topic.name}"
    role        = "roles/pubsub.publisher"
    members     = ["serviceAccount:${data.google_storage_project_service_account.gcs_account.email_address}"]
}

// End enabling notifications


resource "google_storage_bucket" "bucket" {
    name = "default_bucket"
}

resource "google_pubsub_topic" "topic" {
    name = "default_topic"
}

» Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • bucket - (Required) The name of the bucket.

  • payload_format - (Required) The desired content of the Payload. One of "JSON_API_V1" or "NONE".

  • topic - (Required) The Cloud PubSub topic to which this subscription publishes. Expects either the topic name, assumed to belong to the default GCP provider project, or the project-level name, i.e. projects/my-gcp-project/topics/my-topic or my-topic.


  • custom_attributes - (Optional) A set of key/value attribute pairs to attach to each Cloud PubSub message published for this notification subscription

  • event_types - (Optional) List of event type filters for this notification config. If not specified, Cloud Storage will send notifications for all event types. The valid types are: "OBJECT_FINALIZE", "OBJECT_METADATA_UPDATE", "OBJECT_DELETE", "OBJECT_ARCHIVE"

» Attributes Reference

In addition to the arguments listed above, the following computed attributes are exported:

  • self_link - The URI of the created resource.

» Import

Storage notifications can be imported using the notification id in the format <bucket_name>/notificationConfigs/<id> e.g.

$ terraform import google_storage_notification.notification default_bucket/notificationConfigs/102
