Reference documentation and code samples for the Google API Common Protos Client class MonitoredResource.
An object representing a resource that can be used for monitoring, logging,
billing, or other purposes. Examples include virtual machine instances,
databases, and storage devices such as disks. The type field identifies a
MonitoredResourceDescriptor object
that describes the resource's schema. Information in the labels field
identifies the actual resource and its attributes according to the schema.
For example, a particular Compute Engine VM instance could be represented by
the following object, because the
MonitoredResourceDescriptor for
"gce_instance" has labels
"project_id", "instance_id" and "zone":
{ "type": "gce_instance",
"labels": { "project_id": "my-project",
"instance_id": "12345678901234",
"zone": "us-central1-a" }}

Description
data
array
Optional. Data for populating the Message object.
↳ type
string
Required. The monitored resource type. This field must match the type field of a MonitoredResourceDescriptor object. For example, the type of a Compute Engine VM instance is gce_instance. Some descriptors include the service name in the type; for example, the type of a Datastream stream is datastream.googleapis.com/Stream.
Required. Values for all of the labels listed in the associated monitored resource descriptor. For example, Compute Engine VM instances use the labels "project_id", "instance_id", and "zone".
getType
Required. The monitored resource type. This field must match
the type field of a
MonitoredResourceDescriptor
object. For example, the type of a Compute Engine VM instance is
gce_instance. Some descriptors include the service name in the type; for
example, the type of a Datastream stream is
datastream.googleapis.com/Stream.
