--- | --- | ---
auth_kind string / required | Choices: application machineaccount serviceaccount | The type of credential used.
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.
filters list |  | A list of filter value pairs. Available filters are listed here https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/filters. Each additional filter in the list will act be added as an AND condition (filter1 and filter2) .
project string |  | The Google Cloud Platform project to use.
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.
zone string / required |  | The zone the managed instance group resides.

## Notes

Note

- for authentication, you can set service_account_file using the c(gcp_service_account_file) env variable.
- for authentication, you can set service_account_contents using the c(GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_CONTENTS) env variable.
- For authentication, you can set service_account_email using the `GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL` env variable.
- For authentication, you can set auth_kind using the `GCP_AUTH_KIND` env variable.
- For authentication, you can set scopes using the `GCP_SCOPES` env variable.
- Environment variables values will only be used if the playbook values are not set.
- The service_account_email and service_account_file options are mutually exclusive.

## Examples

    - name: get info on an instance group manager
      gcp_compute_instance_group_manager_info:
        zone: us-west1-a
        filters:
        - name = test_object
        project: test_project
        auth_kind: serviceaccount
        service_account_file: "/tmp/auth.pem"

## Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key | Returned | Description
--- | --- | ---
resources complex | always | List of resources
| baseInstanceName string | success | The base instance name to use for instances in this group. The value must be 1-58 characters long. Instances are named by appending a hyphen and a random four-character string to the base instance name. The base instance name must comply with RFC1035.
| creationTimestamp string | success | The creation timestamp for this managed instance group in RFC3339 text format.
| currentActions complex | success | The list of instance actions and the number of instances in this managed instance group that are scheduled for each of those actions.
|  | abandoning integer | success | The total number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be abandoned. Abandoning an instance removes it from the managed instance group without deleting it.
|  | creating integer | success | The number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be created or are currently being created. If the group fails to create any of these instances, it tries again until it creates the instance successfully. If you have disabled creation retries, this field will not be populated; instead, the creatingWithoutRetries field will be populated.
|  | creatingWithoutRetries integer | success | The number of instances that the managed instance group will attempt to create. The group attempts to create each instance only once. If the group fails to create any of these instances, it decreases the group's targetSize value accordingly.
|  | deleting integer | success | The number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be deleted or are currently being deleted.
|  | none integer | success | The number of instances in the managed instance group that are running and have no scheduled actions.
|  | recreating integer | success | The number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be recreated or are currently being being recreated. Recreating an instance deletes the existing root persistent disk and creates a new disk from the image that is defined in the instance template.
|  | refreshing integer | success | The number of instances in the managed instance group that are being reconfigured with properties that do not require a restart or a recreate action. For example, setting or removing target pools for the instance.
|  | restarting integer | success | The number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be restarted or are currently being restarted.
| description string | success | An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
| id integer | success | A unique identifier for this resource.
| instanceGroup dictionary | success | The instance group being managed.
| instanceTemplate dictionary | success | The instance template that is specified for this managed instance group. The group uses this template to create all new instances in the managed instance group.
| name string | success | The name of the managed instance group. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.
| namedPorts complex | success | Named ports configured for the Instance Groups complementary to this Instance Group Manager.
|  | name string | success | The name for this named port. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.
|  | port integer | success | The port number, which can be a value between 1 and 65535.
| region string | success | The region this managed instance group resides (for regional resources).
| targetPools list | success | TargetPool resources to which instances in the instanceGroup field are added. The target pools automatically apply to all of the instances in the managed instance group.
| targetSize integer | success | The target number of running instances for this managed instance group. Deleting or abandoning instances reduces this number. Resizing the group changes this number.
| zone string | success | The zone the managed instance group resides.
