Fields

description

Optional

string

Immutable. A detailed description of the metric, which can be used in documentation.

displayName

Optional

string

Immutable. A concise name for the metric, which can be displayed in user interfaces. Use sentence case without an ending period, for example "Request count". This field is optional but it is recommended to be set for any metrics associated with user-visible concepts, such as Quota.

labels

Optional

list (object)

Immutable. The set of labels that can be used to describe a specific instance of this metric type. For example, the `appengine.googleapis.com/http/server/response_latencies` metric type has a label for the HTTP response code, `response_code`, so you can look at latencies for successful responses or just for responses that failed.

labels[]

Optional

object

labels[].description

Optional

string

Immutable. A human-readable description for the label.

labels[].key

Optional

string

Immutable. The key for this label. The key must meet the following criteria: * Does not exceed 100 characters. * Matches the following regular expression: `a-zA-Z*` * The first character must be an upper- or lower-case letter. * The remaining characters must be letters, digits, or underscores.

labels[].valueType

Optional

string

Immutable. The type of data that can be assigned to the label. Possible values: STRING, BOOL, INT64

launchStage

Optional

string

Immutable. Optional. The launch stage of the metric definition. Possible values: LAUNCH_STAGE_UNSPECIFIED, UNIMPLEMENTED, PRELAUNCH, EARLY_ACCESS, ALPHA, BETA, GA, DEPRECATED

metadata

Optional

object

Immutable. Optional. Metadata which can be used to guide usage of the metric.

metadata.ingestDelay

Optional

string

Immutable. The delay of data points caused by ingestion. Data points older than this age are guaranteed to be ingested and available to be read, excluding data loss due to errors.

metadata.launchStage

Optional

string

Immutable. Deprecated. Must use the MetricDescriptor.launch_stage instead. Possible values: LAUNCH_STAGE_UNSPECIFIED, UNIMPLEMENTED, PRELAUNCH, EARLY_ACCESS, ALPHA, BETA, GA, DEPRECATED

metadata.samplePeriod

Optional

string

Immutable. The sampling period of metric data points. For metrics which are written periodically, consecutive data points are stored at this time interval, excluding data loss due to errors. Metrics with a higher granularity have a smaller sampling period.

metricKind

Required

string

Immutable. Whether the metric records instantaneous values, changes to a value, etc. Some combinations of `metric_kind` and `value_type` might not be supported. Possible values: METRIC_KIND_UNSPECIFIED, GAUGE, DELTA, CUMULATIVE

projectRef

Required

object

Immutable. The Project that this resource belongs to.

projectRef.external

Optional

string

The project for the resource Allowed value: The Google Cloud resource name of a `Project` resource (format: `projects/{{name}}`).

projectRef.name

Optional

string

Name of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#names

projectRef.namespace

Optional

string

Namespace of the referent. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/namespaces/

type

Required

string

Immutable. The metric type, including its DNS name prefix. The type is not URL-encoded. All user-defined metric types have the DNS name `custom.googleapis.com` or `external.googleapis.com`. Metric types should use a natural hierarchical grouping. For example: "custom.googleapis.com/invoice/paid/amount" "external.googleapis.com/prometheus/up" "appengine.googleapis.com/http/server/response_latencies"

unit

Optional

string

Immutable. The units in which the metric value is reported. It is only applicable if the `value_type` is `INT64`, `DOUBLE`, or `DISTRIBUTION`. The `unit` defines the representation of the stored metric values. Different systems might scale the values to be more easily displayed (so a value of `0.02kBy` _might_ be displayed as `20By`, and a value of `3523kBy` _might_ be displayed as `3.5MBy`). However, if the `unit` is `kBy`, then the value of the metric is always in thousands of bytes, no matter how it might be displayed. If you want a custom metric to record the exact number of CPU-seconds used by a job, you can create an `INT64 CUMULATIVE` metric whose `unit` is `s{CPU}` (or equivalently `1s{CPU}` or just `s`). If the job uses 12,005 CPU-seconds, then the value is written as `12005`. Alternatively, if you want a custom metric to record data in a more granular way, you can create a `DOUBLE CUMULATIVE` metric whose `unit` is `ks{CPU}`, and then write the value `12.005` (which is `12005/1000`), or use `Kis{CPU}` and write `11.723` (which is `12005/1024`). The supported units are a subset of [The Unified Code for Units of Measure](https://unitsofmeasure.org/ucum.html) standard: **Basic units (UNIT)** * `bit` bit * `By` byte * `s` second * `min` minute * `h` hour * `d` day * `1` dimensionless **Prefixes (PREFIX)** * `k` kilo (10^3) * `M` mega (10^6) * `G` giga (10^9) * `T` tera (10^12) * `P` peta (10^15) * `E` exa (10^18) * `Z` zetta (10^21) * `Y` yotta (10^24) * `m` milli (10^-3) * `u` micro (10^-6) * `n` nano (10^-9) * `p` pico (10^-12) * `f` femto (10^-15) * `a` atto (10^-18) * `z` zepto (10^-21) * `y` yocto (10^-24) * `Ki` kibi (2^10) * `Mi` mebi (2^20) * `Gi` gibi (2^30) * `Ti` tebi (2^40) * `Pi` pebi (2^50) **Grammar** The grammar also includes these connectors: * `/` division or ratio (as an infix operator). For examples, `kBy/{email}` or `MiBy/10ms` (although you should almost never have `/s` in a metric `unit`; rates should always be computed at query time from the underlying cumulative or delta value). * `.` multiplication or composition (as an infix operator). For examples, `GBy.d` or `k{watt}.h`. The grammar for a unit is as follows: Expression = Component: { "." Component } { "/" Component } ; Component = ( [ PREFIX ] UNIT | "%" ) [ Annotation ] | Annotation | "1" ; Annotation = "{" NAME "}" ; Notes: * `Annotation` is just a comment if it follows a `UNIT`. If the annotation is used alone, then the unit is equivalent to `1`. For examples, `{request}/s == 1/s`, `By{transmitted}/s == By/s`. * `NAME` is a sequence of non-blank printable ASCII characters not containing `{` or `}`. * `1` represents a unitary [dimensionless unit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_quantity) of 1, such as in `1/s`. It is typically used when none of the basic units are appropriate. For example, "new users per day" can be represented as `1/d` or `{new-users}/d` (and a metric value `5` would mean "5 new users). Alternatively, "thousands of page views per day" would be represented as `1000/d` or `k1/d` or `k{page_views}/d` (and a metric value of `5.3` would mean "5300 page views per day"). * `%` represents dimensionless value of 1/100, and annotates values giving a percentage (so the metric values are typically in the range of 0..100, and a metric value `3` means "3 percent"). * `10^2.%` indicates a metric contains a ratio, typically in the range 0..1, that will be multiplied by 100 and displayed as a percentage (so a metric value `0.03` means "3 percent").

valueType

Required

string

Immutable. Whether the measurement is an integer, a floating-point number, etc. Some combinations of `metric_kind` and `value_type` might not be supported. Possible values: STRING, BOOL, INT64
