# PATCH /projects/{project}/global/targetGrpcProxies/{targetGrpcProxy}

`PATCH /projects/{project}/global/targetGrpcProxies/{targetGrpcProxy}`

Patches the specified TargetGrpcProxy resource with the data included in
the request. This method supports PATCH
semantics and usesJSON merge
patch format and processing rules.

## Path parameters

- `project` string, required
- `targetGrpcProxy` string, required

## Query parameters

- `requestId` string

## Request body

- TargetGrpcProxy — Represents a Target gRPC Proxy resource. A target gRPC proxy is a component of load balancers intended for load balancing gRPC traffic. Only global forwarding rules with load balancing scheme INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED can reference a target gRPC proxy. The target gRPC Proxy references a URL map that specifies how traffic is routed to gRPC backend services.
  - `urlMap` string — URL to the UrlMap resource that defines the mapping from URL to the BackendService. The protocol field in the BackendService must be set to GRPC.
  - `kind` string — Output only. [Output Only] Type of the resource. Alwayscompute#targetGrpcProxy for target grpc proxies.
  - `validateForProxyless` boolean — If true, indicates that the BackendServices referenced by the urlMap may be accessed by gRPC applications without using a sidecar proxy. This will enable configuration checks on urlMap and its referenced BackendServices to not allow unsupported features. A gRPC application must use "xds:///" scheme in the target URI of the service it is connecting to. If false, indicates that the BackendServices referenced by the urlMap will be accessed by gRPC applications via a sidecar proxy. In this case, a gRPC application must not use "xds:///" scheme in the target URI of the service it is connecting to
  - `name` string — Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply withRFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression `[a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?` which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
  - `selfLink` string — Output only. [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
  - `fingerprint` string, byte — Fingerprint of this resource. A hash of the contents stored in this object. This field is used in optimistic locking. This field will be ignored when inserting a TargetGrpcProxy. An up-to-date fingerprint must be provided in order to patch/update the TargetGrpcProxy; otherwise, the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet. To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve the TargetGrpcProxy.
  - `description` string — An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
  - `id` string, uint64 — Output only. [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource type. The server generates this identifier.
  - `creationTimestamp` string — Output only. [Output Only] Creation timestamp inRFC3339 text format.
  - `selfLinkWithId` string — Output only. [Output Only] Server-defined URL with id for the resource.
