Required permissions

To view recommendations with the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.RECOMMENDATIONS_BY_ORGANIZATION view, you must have the required permissions for the corresponding recommender. The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.RECOMMENDATIONS_BY_ORGANIZATION view only returns recommendations that you have permission to view.

  • overview: Overview of the recommendation in JSON format. The content of this field might change based on the recommender.
  • state_metadata: Metadata about the state of the recommendation in key-value pairs.
  • operations: List of operations the user can perform on the target resources. This contains the following fields:
    • action: The type of action the user must perform. This can be a free-text set by the system while generating the recommendation. Will always be populated.

Scope and syntax

Queries against this view must include a region qualifier. A project ID is optional. If no project ID is specified, the project that the query runs in is used.

View name Resource scope Region scope
[PROJECT_ID.]`region-REGION`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.RECOMMENDATIONS[_BY_ORGANIZATION] Project level REGION
Replace the following:

  • Optional: PROJECT_ID: the ID of your Google Cloud project. If not specified, the default project is used.
+ REGION: any dataset region name. For example, region-us.

Example

To run the query against a project other than your default project, add the project ID in the following format: 

`PROJECT_ID`.`region-REGION_NAME`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.RECOMMENDATIONS_BY_ORGANIZATION
 Replace the following:

  • PROJECT_ID: the ID of the project.
  • REGION_NAME: the region for your project.

For example, `myproject`.`region-us`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.RECOMMENDATIONS_BY_ORGANIZATION.

View materialized view recommendations in organization

The following example returns materialized view recommendations in the organization:

SELECT
  project_id,
  LAX_INT64(additional_details.overview.bytesSavedMonthly) / POW(1024, 3) as est_gb_saved_monthly,
  LAX_INT64(additional_details.overview.slotMsSavedMonthly) / (1000 * 3600) as slot_hours_saved_monthly,
  last_updated_time
FROM
 `region-us`.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.RECOMMENDATIONS_BY_ORGANIZATION
WHERE
  recommender = 'google.bigquery.materializedview.Recommender'
LIMIT 3;

The result is similar to the following:

+-------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|          project_id           | est_gb_saved_monthly| slot_hours_saved_monthly |  last_updated_time  |
