Using Console
To remediate the “Cloud Firestore Index State Should Be READY or CREATING” misconfiguration for GCP using the GCP console, please follow these steps:
- Open the GCP console and select the project that contains the Firestore instance with the misconfigured index.
- Navigate to the Firestore instance that has the misconfigured index.
- Click on the “Indexes” tab in the Firestore console.
- Look for the index that has the status “ERROR”. This index needs to be remediated.
- Click on the index that has the status “ERROR” to open the details page.
- On the details page, click on the “Edit” button.
- Review the index definition and make any necessary changes to ensure it is valid.
- Click on the “Save” button to save the changes.
- Wait for the index to be reprocessed. This may take some time depending on the size of your Firestore instance and the number of documents in it.
- Once the index is in the “READY” or “CREATING” state, the misconfiguration is remediated.
Using CLI
Using CLI
To remediate the “Cloud Firestore Index State Should Be READY or CREATING” misconfiguration for GCP using GCP CLI, you can follow the below steps:
- Open the Cloud Firestore console in GCP and navigate to the Indexes tab.
- Check the status of the index that is causing the misconfiguration. If the status is anything other than “READY” or “CREATING”, it means the index is not in a valid state.
- To remediate this, you can use the GCP CLI command “gcloud firestore indexes delete” to delete the problematic index.
- After deleting the index, you can recreate it using the “gcloud firestore indexes create” command. This will create a new index with a valid state.
- Once the new index is created, you can verify its status in the Cloud Firestore console to ensure that it is in a “READY” or “CREATING” state.
- Repeat these steps for any other indexes that are in an invalid state.
Using Python
Using Python
To remediate the Cloud Firestore Index State Should Be READY or CREATING issue for GCP using python, you can follow the below steps:Replace [INDEX_NAME] with the name of the index, [FIELD_NAME] with the name of the field on which the index is created, and [ASCENDING/DESCENDING] with the order of the index.Replace [INDEX_NAME] with the name of the index, [FIELD_NAME] with the name of the field on which the index is created, [ASCENDING/DESCENDING] with the order of the index, and [COLLECTION_GROUP] with the name of the collection group.
- First, you need to check the current state of the index by running the following command in the Cloud Shell:
- If the state of the index is “CREATING”, it means the index is still being created. You can wait for a few minutes and check again.
- If the state of the index is “ERROR”, it means there was an error while creating the index. You can delete the index and recreate it using the following commands:
- If the state of the index is “READY”, it means the index is created successfully and there is no issue.
- You can also use the following python code to check the state of the index and delete and recreate the index if needed:
