This page 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.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.
external.googleapis.com
Metrics sent to Workspaces 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.
Stackdriver 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 6 weeks are subject to deletion.
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 Kubernetes Engine Monitoring, metrics exported by
Prometheus are converted to Stackdriver 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"
}
Other metrics
Metrics from other domains.
netapp.com
Metrics from NetApp. Launch stages of these metrics: ALPHA
The following metric type names must be prefixed
with netapp.com/
. That prefix has been
omitted from the entries in the table.

GAUGE , INT64 , {inode} netapp_cloud_volume |
Number of inode in use on the volume. Sampled every 300 seconds.
type :
Type of usage, either logical or snapshot.
|
cloudvolume/operation_count
ALPHA

|
DELTA , INT64 , count netapp_cloud_volume |
Number of operations being performed on the cloud volume by the end users. Sampled every 60 seconds.
type :
Type of utilization, either logical or snapshot.
|
cloudvolume/read_bytes_count
ALPHA

|
DELTA , DISTRIBUTION , ms netapp_cloud_volume |
Distribution of IO operation request latencies, in milliseconds. A measure of responsiveness of the volume. Sampled every 60 seconds.
method :
NetApp Cloud Volume IO operation.
|
cloudvolume/volume_size
ALPHA

ALPHA
Bytes written |
|
DELTA , INT64 , By netapp_cloud_volume |
I/O bytes from write operations by the end user. Sampled every 60 seconds. |
