This document lists some of the metric types available from open-source projects and other external sources.
For a general explanation of the entries in the tables, including information about values like
DELTA
andGAUGE
, see Metric types.To chart or monitor metric types with values of type
STRING
, you must use Monitoring Query Language (MQL), and you must convert the value into a numeric value. For information about MQL string-conversion methods, seeString
.
- For information about the units used in the metric lists, see
the
unit
field in theMetricDescriptor
reference. - 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 pricing information, see Cloud Monitoring pricing summary.
- For information about the meaning of launch stages such as
GA
(General Availability) andBETA
(Preview), see Product launch stages.
external.googleapis.com
Metrics sent to Google Cloud projects with a metric type beginning
external.googleapis.com
are known as external metrics. The metrics are
typically exported by open-source projects and third-party providers.
There is presently a limit of
25,000
external metric descriptors per Google Cloud project.
Cloud Monitoring treats external metrics the same as custom
metrics, with one exception. For external
metrics, a resource_type of global
is invalid and results
in the metric data being discarded.
External metric descriptors that are created but then not used for at least 24 months are subject to deletion.
user
external.googleapis.com/user/
is a valid domain for user-defined metrics. It
is functionally identical to custom.googleapis.com
, although it has some
backend optimizations that make queries perform better at scale. If you have
many projects with identical metrics in every project, then you should use the
external.googleapis.com/user/
prefix instead of custom.googleapis.com
for
performance reasons.
vmware/vcenter
Metrics whose names begin external.googleapis.com/vmware/vcenter/
come from
Google Cloud VMware Engine environments that
are running the standalone GCVE
agent
to collect and send metrics to Cloud Monitoring. For a list of metrics that
the agent can collect, see List of collected
metrics.
prometheus
Metrics whose names begin external.googleapis.com/prometheus/
come from
Prometheus, an open-source monitoring
tool often used with Kubernetes. When you configure Prometheus with
Stackdriver Prometheus sidecar
(deprecated),
metrics exported by Prometheus are converted to Cloud Monitoring metric
types with simple metric descriptors, such as the following:
{
"name": "projects/my-gcp-project/metricDescriptors/external.googleapis.com/prometheus/apiserver_client_certificate_expiration_seconds",
"metricKind": "CUMULATIVE",
"valueType": "DISTRIBUTION",
"description": "Auto-created custom metric.",
"type": "external.googleapis.com/prometheus/apiserver_client_certificate_expiration_seconds"
}
If you are using the sidecar to ingest Prometheus metrics, then we recommend migrating to Google Cloud Managed Service for Prometheus.
Other metrics
Metrics from other domains.
