Triage and Remediation
Remediation
Using Console
Using Console
To remediate the misconfiguration of GCP BigQuery tables not enabling table refresh, you can follow these steps using the GCP console:
- Open the BigQuery console in the GCP console.
- Select the dataset containing the table that needs to be remediated.
- Click on the table name to open the table details view.
- Click on the “Edit schema” button located in the top right corner of the page.
- Scroll down to the “Advanced options” section and check the box next to “Allow field addition”.
- Scroll down further to the “Expiration” section and set the “Default table expiration” to a desired value, such as 1 day.

- Set the “Default table refresh” to a desired value, such as 1 hour.
- Click the “Save schema” button to save the changes.
Using CLI
Using CLI
To remediate the misconfiguration “GCP BigQuery Tables Should Enable Table Refresh” using GCP CLI, you can follow the below steps:Step 1: Open the Cloud Shell in the GCP console.Step 2: Run the following command to enable table refresh for a specific table in BigQuery:Note: Replace This will display the table details, including the description and default table expiration.Step 4: Repeat the above steps for all the tables in your BigQuery dataset.By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration “GCP BigQuery Tables Should Enable Table Refresh” for your GCP environment using GCP CLI.
dataset_name
with the name of the dataset where the table is located and table_name
with the name of the table for which you want to enable table refresh.Step 3: Verify that the table refresh has been enabled successfully by running the following command:Using Python
Using Python
To remediate the GCP BigQuery Tables not having Table Refresh enabled, you can use the following steps using Python:Note: In the Note: In the
- Import the required libraries:
- Set up the BigQuery client:
- Define the project ID and dataset ID:
- Define the table ID:
- Check if the table exists:
- If the table exists, update the table to enable Table Refresh:
client.update_table
method, the last parameter refresh_interval
is set to 3600 seconds (1 hour). You can set this value as per your requirement.- If the table does not exist, create a new table with Table Refresh enabled:
bigquery.TimePartitioning
method, the field
parameter is set to the partition column name. You can set this value as per your table’s partition column. Also, in the table.clustering_fields
parameter, the clustering column name is set. You can set this value as per your table’s clustering column.These steps will remediate the GCP BigQuery Tables not having Table Refresh enabled.
