Google Cloud Dataflow WaitForJob

Google Cloud Dataflow WaitForJob
Certified
Wait for a Dataflow job to complete

Polls a Dataflow job status sequentially until it enters a terminal state (JOB_STATE_DONE, JOB_STATE_FAILED, JOB_STATE_CANCELLED, JOB_STATE_DRAINED, JOB_STATE_UPDATED).

yaml
type: io.kestra.plugin.gcp.dataflow.WaitForJob

Examples

Launch a template job and wait for its completion.

yaml
id: dataflow_classic_template
namespace: company.team

inputs:
  - id: input_path
    type: STRING

tasks:
  - id: launch
    type: io.kestra.plugin.gcp.dataflow.LaunchTemplate
    projectId: "{{ secret('GCP_PROJECT_ID') }}"
    location: us-central1
    jobName: my-etl-job
    gcsPath: gs://my-bucket/templates/my-template
    parameters:
      inputFile: "{{ inputs.input_path }}"
      outputTable: my-project:my_dataset.my_table

  - id: wait
    type: io.kestra.plugin.gcp.dataflow.WaitForJob
    projectId: "{{ secret('GCP_PROJECT_ID') }}"
    location: us-central1
    jobId: "{{ outputs.launch.jobId }}"
    pollInterval: PT15S
    maxDuration: PT1H

Installation

Our standard Docker images already include this plugin. If you use a -slim image or another setup, install it with the following command:

kestractl plugins get io.kestra.plugin:plugin-gcp --compatible-for $KESTRA_VERSION

For kestractl, use your Kestra version with --compatible-for, or specify an exact plugin version.

For Kestra CLI, replace LATEST with a specific version or version range to pin the plugin version.

Properties

jobId *string

The Dataflow job ID

location *string

The regional endpoint (e.g. us-central1)

assets

Assets this task consumes as inputs or produces as outputs, for lineage tracking and the asset graph (Enterprise Edition). A flow declaring this property on a task is rejected in the open-source edition.

Definitions

io.kestra.core.models.assets.AssetsDeclaration

assetFailureBehaviorstring

Possible Values

IGNOREFAILWARN

Asset failure behavior

Behavior applied to the task state when a declared asset fails to render, emit, or be persisted (e.g. a lock conflict): FAIL escalates it to FAILED, WARN (default) warns it if it would otherwise succeed, IGNORE leaves the state untouched.

enableAutobooleanstring

Whether to auto-register assets referenced dynamically at runtime that are not statically declared in inputs or outputs.

inputsarray

The assets consumed as inputs.

impersonatedServiceAccount string

The GCP service account to impersonate

maxDuration string

DefaultPT1H

The maximum duration to wait before timing out

pollInterval string

DefaultPT15S

The interval between polls

projectId string

The GCP project ID

scopes array

SubTypestring

Default["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"]

The GCP scopes to be used

serviceAccount string

The GCP service account

When unset or rendered to an empty value, Application Default Credentials are used (e.g. GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS or the runtime's attached identity).

workloadIdentityAudience string

Audience of the Workload Identity Federation provider

The full resource name of the workload identity pool provider, //iam.googleapis.com/projects/<number>/locations/global/workloadIdentityPools/<pool>/providers/<provider>. Required with workloadIdentityToken, and must match the aud claim of the token.

workloadIdentityToken string

OIDC token for Workload Identity Federation

When set together with workloadIdentityAudience, the token is exchanged at Google STS for federated credentials and no service account key is needed: Google verifies it against the identity provider that issued it. Use {{ oidcToken(audience='…') }} to have Kestra Enterprise mint one for the running execution. Combine with impersonatedServiceAccount to act as a service account the pool may impersonate, and set projectId explicitly since no key file carries it. Cannot be combined with serviceAccount.

Outputs

jobId string

The job ID

metrics object

A map containing job metrics at completion

state string

The final terminal state of the job
