This feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms. You can process personal data for this feature as outlined in the Cloud Data Processing Addendum, subject to the obligations and restrictions described in the agreement under which you access Google Cloud. Pre-GA features are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.

This document describes how to analyze your database inventory by grouping and sorting database fleet health information that you're interested in.

Database Center lets you customize and share the data that is displayed on your dashboard. Database Center displays all of the database information for your organization. Any customizations that you make only apply to your view of the dashboard.

Note: Data is updated approximately every 24 hours in Database Center.

The Fleet inventory section of the Database Center dashboard gives you a visual overview of the database groups and resources in your database fleet. The section is organized in two segments that you configure: Segment 1 and Segment 2.

Segments are useful when you want to learn specific information about your database fleet inventory. For example, you can use segments to determine the following:

• Where are my PostgreSQL 14 instances hosted?
• Which Google Cloud projects have resources deployed in Asia and America?
• Which are my largest regions, and which engines do I use the most in those regions?

Segment 1 groups the resources on the top level by the selected segment, while Segment 2 groups the expanded row by the selected segment. For each segment, you can choose one of the following options:

• Project: Your Google Cloud project.
• Region: The geographic location where your data is served.
• Product & version: The version of the database that you're interested in.
• Resource type: The name that's assigned to provisioned computing resources in different Google Cloud database products.

Before you begin

• Ensure that Database Center is set up for your organization.
