Viewing operations with Compute Cloud resources

Written by

Updated at June 18, 2026
  • Getting a list of operations
  • Getting operation details

The system logs all actions with Compute Cloud resources as a list of operations. Each operation gets its own unique ID.

Getting a list of operationsGetting a list of operations

Note

Compute Cloud stores data on resource operations for the last two weeks.

Management console
CLI
API

To view operations with all the resources, select Operations in the left-hand panel. This will open the list of all operations, including those on currently deleted resources.

You can get a list of operations for a specific resource. The steps below describe how you can do this for a VM. The same steps apply to other resources as well.

  1. In the management console, open the folder with the VM.

  2. Navigate to Compute Cloud.

  3. In the left-hand panel, select Virtual machines.

  4. Select the VM.

  5. Go to the Operations panel for the selected VM.

    This will open the list of operations with the VM and resources connected to it.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

To get the list of operations for the Compute Cloud resource, run this command:

yc compute <resource_type> list-operations <resource_name_or_ID>

Example

Getting a list of operations for a VM:

yc compute instance list-operations epdplu8jn7sr********

Result:

+----------------------+---------------------+----------------------+---------------------+--------+-----------------+
|          ID          |     CREATED AT      |      CREATED BY      |     MODIFIED AT     | STATUS |   DESCRIPTION   |
+----------------------+---------------------+----------------------+---------------------+--------+-----------------+
| epd2ohv6ur6a******** | 2023-10-20 08:34:01 | ajeef73j5iq9******** | 2023-10-20 08:34:05 | DONE   | Update instance |
| epd2lcg5na2r******** | 2023-10-20 08:32:28 | ajeef73j5iq9******** | 2023-10-20 08:32:55 | DONE   | Stop instance   |
+----------------------+---------------------+----------------------+---------------------+--------+-----------------+

By default, information about operations is output as text. To get more details, use --format to specify the yaml or json output format:

yc compute instance list-operations epdplu8jn7sr******** --format yaml

Result:

- id: epd2ohv6ur6a********

  done: true
  metadata:

    instance_id: epdplu8jn7sr********
  response:
    '@type': type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Empty
    value: {}

Use the listOperations REST API method for the relevant resource or the <service>/ListOperations gRPC API call.

For example, for a VM, use either the listOperations REST API method for the Instance resource or the InstanceService/ListOperations gRPC API call.

Getting operation detailsGetting operation details

  1. Get the list of operations for the resource.

  2. Copy the operation ID.

  3. Get the operation details:

    CLI
    API

    If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

    The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

    Run this command:

    yc operation get <operation_ID>
    

    Result:

    id: ef3ovrdqhhf9********
    description: Delete instance
    created_at: "2023-10-17T16:08:10Z"
    created_by: ajejisqqifen********
    modified_at: "2023-10-17T16:08:41Z"
    done: true
    metadata:
      '@type': type.googleapis.com/yandex.cloud.compute.v1.DeleteInstanceMetadata
      instance_id: ef3su74qmfp4********
    response:
      '@type': type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.Empty
      value: {}
    

    Use the get REST API method for the Operation resource or the OperationService/Get gRPC API call.
