This guide outlines the mandatory patterns and best practices for invoking Google Cloud APIs (such as Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, GKE, and Compute Engine) across KHI tasks and SDK components.
1. Core Principles
All calls to Google Cloud APIs in KHI must carry proper call options (such as gRPC metadata, routing headers, quota parameters, and credentials) associated with the target Google Cloud resource container (googlecloud.Project, googlecloud.Folder, or googlecloud.Organization).
[!IMPORTANT] Mandatory Context Injection: You MUST always apply
CallOptionInjectorto the call'scontext.Context(or HTTP headers) prior to invoking any Google Cloud API. Failing to callInjectToCallContextmeans required metadata and options will not propagate to the RPC, which can cause authentication, quota, or routing failures.
2. Using CallOptionInjector in Inspection Tasks
Inspection tasks under pkg/task/ that interact with Google Cloud APIs must retrieve CallOptionInjector through the KHI task DAG dependency system.
Step-by-Step Task Pattern
-
Add Task Dependency: Include
googlecloudcommon_contract.APIClientCallOptionsInjectorTaskID.Ref()in the task's dependency list. -
Retrieve Injector: In the task body, retrieve the injector using
coretask.GetTaskResult(orcoretask.GetTaskResultOptionalwhen the injector is optional). -
Inject Options Before Calling APIs: Call
InjectToCallContextonctxfor the target container, and pass the resulting context to client initialization and API calls.
Code Sample: Task Implementation
package mylog_impl
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"cloud.google.com/go/logging/apiv2/loggingpb"
"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/khi/pkg/api/googlecloud"
coretask "github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/khi/pkg/core/task"
"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/khi/pkg/core/task/taskid"
googlecloudcommon_contract "github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/khi/pkg/task/inspection/googlecloudcommon/contract"
inspectioncore_contract "github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/khi/pkg/task/inspection/inspectioncore/contract"
)
var MyDiscoveryTask = coretask.NewTask(
taskid.NewDefaultImplementationID[[]string]("mylog.khi.google.com/discovery"),
[]taskid.UntypedTaskReference{
googlecloudcommon_contract.APIClientFactoryTaskID.Ref(),
googlecloudcommon_contract.APIClientCallOptionsInjectorTaskID.Ref(),
},
func(ctx context.Context, taskMode inspectioncore_contract.InspectionTaskModeType) ([]string, error) {
clientFactory := coretask.GetTaskResult(ctx, googlecloudcommon_contract.APIClientFactoryTaskID.Ref())
callOptionInjector := coretask.GetTaskResult(ctx, googlecloudcommon_contract.APIClientCallOptionsInjectorTaskID.Ref())
container := googlecloud.Project("my-project-id")
// 1. Inject call options into context for the container.
callCtx := callOptionInjector.InjectToCallContext(ctx, container)
// 2. Create client and make calls using callCtx.
loggingClient, err := clientFactory.NewClient(callCtx, container)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to create logging client: %w", err)
}
defer loggingClient.Close()
it := loggingClient.ListLogEntries(callCtx, &loggingpb.ListLogEntriesRequest{
ResourceNames: []string{"projects/my-project-id"},
PageSize: 10,
})
_ = it
return []string{}, nil
},
)
3. Using CallOptionInjector in Reusable Components and Fetchers
When writing reusable helper structs that hold Google Cloud API clients (such as LogFetcher, LocationFetcher, or StructuredLogEstimator):
-
Accept as Constructor Argument: Pass
callOptionInjector *googlecloud.CallOptionInjectorinto the constructor. -
Store as Struct Field: Keep
CallOptionInjector *googlecloud.CallOptionInjectoron the struct. -
Inject in Methods: Right before making the RPC calls (or before passing context to goroutines/
errgroup), execute:if e.CallOptionInjector != nil { ctx = e.CallOptionInjector.InjectToCallContext(ctx, container) }
Code Sample: Component Implementation
package myfetcher
import (
"context"
"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/khi/pkg/api/googlecloud"
"golang.org/x/sync/errgroup"
)
type ResourceFetcher struct {
CallOptionInjector *googlecloud.CallOptionInjector
// Other client fields...
}
func NewResourceFetcher(injector *googlecloud.CallOptionInjector) *ResourceFetcher {
return &ResourceFetcher{
CallOptionInjector: injector,
}
}
func (f *ResourceFetcher) FetchResources(ctx context.Context, container googlecloud.ResourceContainer) error {
// Inject options before creating child context or errgroup.
if f.CallOptionInjector != nil {
ctx = f.CallOptionInjector.InjectToCallContext(ctx, container)
}
g, groupCtx := errgroup.WithContext(ctx)
g.Go(func() error {
// groupCtx now inherits all injected call options.
return f.queryAPI(groupCtx, container)
})
return g.Wait()
}
func (f *ResourceFetcher) queryAPI(ctx context.Context, container googlecloud.ResourceContainer) error {
// API call using ctx...
return nil
}
4. Raw HTTP Requests
When sending REST/HTTP requests rather than using gRPC client libraries, gRPC context call options do not take effect. Instead, inject the options into the HTTP headers using ApplyToRawHTTPHeader:
req, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, http.MethodGet, endpointURL, nil)
if err != nil {
return err
}
if callOptionInjector != nil {
callOptionInjector.ApplyToRawHTTPHeader(req.Header, container)
}
resp, err := httpClient.Do(req)
// ...
5. Testing Components with CallOptionInjector
When writing unit tests for tasks or components that use CallOptionInjector:
- Verify that
CallOptionInjectorexecutes and modifies the context using a mockCallOptionInjectorOption. - Ensure the component functions correctly when
CallOptionInjectorisnil(defensive programming).
Test Example
type mockCallOptionInjectorOption struct {
key string
value string
}
func (m *mockCallOptionInjectorOption) ApplyToCallContext(ctx context.Context, container googlecloud.ResourceContainer) context.Context {
return context.WithValue(ctx, m.key, m.value)
}
func (m *mockCallOptionInjectorOption) ApplyToRawHTTPHeader(header http.Header, container googlecloud.ResourceContainer) {}
var _ googlecloud.CallOptionInjectorOption = (*mockCallOptionInjectorOption)(nil)
func TestComponent_CallOptionInjector(t *testing.T) {
testCases := []struct {
name string
injector *googlecloud.CallOptionInjector
wantValue any
}{
{
name: "injector modifies context",
injector: googlecloud.NewCallOptionInjector(&mockCallOptionInjectorOption{
key: "test-key",
value: "test-value",
}),
wantValue: "test-value",
},
{
name: "nil injector succeeds without error",
injector: nil,
wantValue: nil,
},
}
for _, tc := range testCases {
t.Run(tc.name, func(t *testing.T) {
component := NewResourceFetcher(tc.injector)
err := component.FetchResources(context.Background(), googlecloud.Project("test-project"))
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("unexpected error: %v", err)
}
})
}
}
