You are now viewing Migrate for Compute Engine v 4.11. As of version 5.0, Migrate for Compute Engine has been renamed to Migrate to Virtual Machines. See the 5.0 documentation for the most updated version.

Using Stackdriver Monitoring

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

Migrate for Compute Engine provides metrics for migration components via Google Cloud's operations suite. Categories of metrics include:

  • Health of your Migrate for Compute Engine infrastructure
  • Storage usage
  • Network usage

Viewing metrics in Google Cloud's operations suite

To use Metrics Explorer to view the metrics for a monitored resource, follow these steps:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Metrics Explorer page within Monitoring.

    2. Go to Metrics Explorer

  2. In the toolbar, select the Explorer tab.
  3. Select the Configuration tab.
  4. Expand the Select a metric menu, enter Generic Node in the filter bar, and then use the submenus to select a specific resource type and metric:
    1. In the Active resources menu, select Generic Node.
    2. To select a metric, use the Active metric categories and Active metrics menus.
    3. Click Apply.
  5. Optional: To configure how the data is viewed, add filters and use the Group By, Aggregator, and chart-type menus. If your project hosts multiple Migrate for Compute Engine Managers, you can filter by Namespace. For more information, see Select metrics when using Metrics Explorer.
  6. Optional: Change the graph settings:
    • For quota and other metrics that report one sample per day, set the time frame to at least one week and set the plot type to Stacked bar chart.
    • For distribution valued metrics, set the plot type to Heatmap chart.

Finding your namespace

  1. Sign in to your Migrate for Compute Engine Manager
  2. Click System Settings.
  3. Click the Logs tab.
  4. Your Namespace is the value after System ID on the bottom of the page.

The System ID as visible from the Migrate for Compute Engine Manager.
