  • Getting information about an origin
  • Getting information about an origin group

You can get information about an individual origin or an origin group.

Getting information about an origin

To get the URL and other details of an origin:

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing your origin.
  2. Select Cloud CDN.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Origin groups.
  4. Select the origin group containing your origin.
  5. The Overview page will show the origin details.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command to get information about an origin:

    yc cdn origin get --help
    
  2. Get information about the origin by specifying its ID or name:

    yc cdn origin get <origin_ID>
    

    Result:

    id: "152152********"
    origin_group_id: "2128********"
    source: test-cdn-1.storage.yandexcloud.net
    enabled: true
    meta:
      bucket:
        name: test-cdn-1
    

To get detailed information about an origin, use the get REST API method for the Origin resource or the OriginService/Get gRPC API call.

Getting information about an origin group

To get the name, set of origins, and other details of an origin group:

Management console
CLI
Terraform
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing your origin group.
  2. Select Cloud CDN.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select Origin groups.
  4. Select an origin group.
  5. The Overview page will show the origin group details.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command to get information about an origin group:

    yc cdn origin-group get --help
    
  2. Get information about the origin group by specifying its ID or name:

    yc cdn origin-group get <origin_group_ID>
    

    Result:

    id: "2149********"
    folder_id: b1ggmp8es27t********
    name: test-cdn-group
    use_next: true
    origins:
    - id: "2741********"
      origin_group_id: "2149********"
      source: test-cdn-1-2.storage.yandexcloud.net
      enabled: true
      backup: true
      meta:
        bucket:
          name: test-cdn-1-2
    - id: "2742********"
      origin_group_id: "2149********"
      source: test-cdn-1-1.storage.yandexcloud.net
      enabled: true
      meta:
        bucket:
          name: test-cdn-1-1
    

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or mirror website.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure its Yandex Cloud provider.

  1. Add the data and output sections to the Terraform configuration file:

    data "yandex_cdn_origin_group" "my_group" {
      origin_group_id = "<group_ID>"
    }
    
    output "my_group_origin" {
      value = "${data.yandex_cdn_origin_group.my_group.origin}"
    }
    

    Where:

    • data "yandex_cdn_origin_group": Description of the origin group as a data source:
      • origin_group_id: Origin group ID.
    • output "my_group_origin": Output variable that contains information about the origin group:
      • value: Returned value.

    You can replace origin with any other parameter to get the information you need. For more information about the yandex_cdn_origin_group data source parameters, see the relevant provider documentation.

  2. Create resources:

    1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

    2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      
    3. Run the command:

      terraform plan
      

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

    4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      
    5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

    Terraform will create the required resources and display the output variable values in the terminal. To check the results, run:

    terraform output
    

    Result:

    my_group_origin = toset([
      {
        "backup" = false
        "enabled" = true
        "origin_group_id" = 2149********
        "source" = "test-cdn-1-2"
      },
      {
        "backup" = true
        "enabled" = true
        "origin_group_id" = 2149********
        "source" = "test-cdn-1-1"
      },
    ])
    

To get detailed information about an origin group, use the get REST API method for the OriginGroup resource or the OriginGroupService/Get gRPC API call.
