Cloud Monitoring collects measurements to help you understand how your applications and system services are performing. A collection of these measurements is generically called a metric. The applications and system services being monitored are called monitored resources.
For a general explanation of the entries in the tables, see Metric types.
For information about the units used in the metric lists, see the
unitfield in theMetricDescriptorreference.For information about statements of the form “Sampled every x seconds” and “After sampling, data is not visible for up to y seconds”, see Additional information: metadata.
For a set of complete, current lists of supported metric types, see Metrics list.
For pricing information, see Monitoring pricing.
The following table maps metric path prefixes to the load balancer types:
| Metric path | Load balancer |
|---|---|
https/ |
External HTTP(S) load balancer |
https/external/regional |
Regional external HTTP(S) load balancer |
https/internal/ |
Internal HTTP(S) load balancer |
l3/external/ |
Network load balancer |
l3/internal/ |
Internal TCP/UDP load balancer |
tcp_ssl_proxy/ |
TCP proxy load balancer SSL proxy load balancer |
The "metric type" strings in this table must be prefixed
with loadbalancing.googleapis.com/. That prefix has been
omitted from the entries in the table.
