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 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 a set of complete, current lists of supported metric types, see Metrics list.
For pricing information, see Monitoring pricing.
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
10,000
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.
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
Cloud Operations for GKE, 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"
}
Other metrics
Metrics from other domains.
