updateMask	object (field-mask) A comma-separated names off ALL fields to be updated. Only the specified fields will be changed. The others will be left untouched. If the field is specified in `updateMask` and no value for that field was sent in the request, the field's value will be reset to the default. The default value for most fields is null or 0. If `updateMask` is not sent in the request, all fields' values will be updated. Fields specified in the request will be updated to provided values. The rest of the fields will be reset to the default.
http	HttpRoute New settings of the HTTP route. Includes only one of the fields `http`, `grpc`. New settings of the route.
grpc	GrpcRoute New settings of the gRPC route. Includes only one of the fields `http`, `grpc`. New settings of the route.

An HTTP route action resource.

Field	Description
backendGroupId	string Required field. Backend group to forward requests to. Stream (TCP) backend groups are not supported.
timeout	string (duration) Overall timeout for an HTTP connection between a load balancer node an a backend from the backend group: the maximum time the connection is kept alive for, regardless of whether data is transferred over it. If a connection times out, the load balancer responds to the client with a `504 Gateway Timeout` status code. Default value: `60`.
idleTimeout	string (duration) Idle timeout for an HTTP connection between a load balancer node an a backend from the backend group: the maximum time the connection is allowed to be idle, i.e. without any data transferred over it. Specifying meaningful values for both `timeout` and `idle_timeout` is useful for implementing server-push mechanisms such as long polling, server-sent events (`EventSource` interface) etc. If a connection times out, the load balancer responds to the client with a `504 Gateway Timeout` status code. If not specified, no idle timeout is used, and an alive connection may be idle for any duration (see `timeout`).

An Operation resource. For more information, see Operation.

Field	Description
id	string ID of the operation.
description	string Description of the operation. 0-256 characters long.
createdAt	string (date-time) Creation timestamp. String in RFC3339 text format. The range of possible values is from `0001-01-01T00:00:00Z` to `9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z`, i.e. from 0 to 9 digits for fractions of a second. To work with values in this field, use the APIs described in the Protocol Buffers reference. In some languages, built-in datetime utilities do not support nanosecond precision (9 digits).
createdBy	string ID of the user or service account who initiated the operation.
modifiedAt	string (date-time) The time when the Operation resource was last modified. String in RFC3339 text format. The range of possible values is from `0001-01-01T00:00:00Z` to `9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z`, i.e. from 0 to 9 digits for fractions of a second. To work with values in this field, use the APIs described in the Protocol Buffers reference. In some languages, built-in datetime utilities do not support nanosecond precision (9 digits).
done	boolean If the value is `false`, it means the operation is still in progress. If `true`, the operation is completed, and either `error` or `response` is available.
metadata	UpdateRouteMetadata Service-specific metadata associated with the operation. It typically contains the ID of the target resource that the operation is performed on. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.
error	Status The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation. Includes only one of the fields `error`, `response`. The operation result. If `done == false` and there was no failure detected, neither `error` nor `response` is set. If `done == false` and there was a failure detected, `error` is set. If `done == true`, exactly one of `error` or `response` is set.
response	VirtualHost The normal response of the operation in case of success. If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete, the response is google.protobuf.Empty. If the original method is the standard Create/Update, the response should be the target resource of the operation. Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the response type, if any. Includes only one of the fields `error`, `response`. The operation result. If `done == false` and there was no failure detected, neither `error` nor `response` is set. If `done == false` and there was a failure detected, `error` is set. If `done == true`, exactly one of `error` or `response` is set.

Field	Description
httpRouterId	string ID of the HTTP router that the route is being updated in.
virtualHostName	string Name of the virtual host that the route is being updated in.
routeName	string Name of the route that is being updated.

Status

The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.

Field	Description
code	integer (int32) Error code. An enum value of google.rpc.Code.
message	string An error message.
details[]	object A list of messages that carry the error details.

VirtualHost

A virtual host resource.
For details about the concept, see documentation.

Field	Description
name	string Required field. Name of the virtual host. The name is unique within the HTTP router.
authority[]	string List of domains that are attributed to the virtual host. The host is selected to process the request received by the load balancer if the domain specified in the HTTP/1.1 `Host` header or the HTTP/2 `:authority` pseudo-header matches a domain specified in the host. A wildcard asterisk character (``) matches 0 or more characters. If not specified, all domains are attributed to the host, which is the same as specifying a `` value. An HTTP router must not contain more than one virtual host to which all domains are attributed.
routes[]	Route Routes of the virtual host. A route contains a set of conditions (predicates) that are used by the load balancer to select the route for the request and an action on the request. For details about the concept, see documentation. The order of routes matters: the first route whose predicate matches the request is selected. The most specific routes should be at the top of the list, so that they are not overridden. For example, if the first HTTP route is configured, via HttpRoute.match, to match paths prefixed with just `/`, other routes are never matched.
modifyRequestHeaders[]	HeaderModification Deprecated, use route_options.modify_request_headers.
modifyResponseHeaders[]	HeaderModification Deprecated, use route_options.modify_response_headers.
