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" }}
