Metrics

The following Bigtable metrics are provided to Cloud Monitoring. For best results, always use server-side metrics in conjunction with client-side metrics for performance debugging.

The "metric type" strings in this table must be prefixed with bigtable.googleapis.com/. That prefix has been omitted from the entries in the table. When querying a label, use the metric.labels. prefix; for example, metric.labels.LABEL="VALUE".
