Code sample

C#

public static object ListMetrics(string projectId)
{
    MetricServiceClient client = MetricServiceClient.Create();
    ProjectName projectName = new ProjectName(projectId);
    PagedEnumerable<ListMetricDescriptorsResponse, MetricDescriptor> metrics = client.ListMetricDescriptors(projectName);

    {
        Console.WriteLine($"{metric.Name}: {metric.DisplayName}");
    }

Go


import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"io"

	monitoring "cloud.google.com/go/monitoring/apiv3"
	"google.golang.org/api/iterator"
	monitoringpb "google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/monitoring/v3"
)

	defer c.Close()

	req := &monitoringpb.ListMetricDescriptorsRequest{
		Name: "projects/" + projectID,
	}
	iter := c.ListMetricDescriptors(ctx, req)

	for {
		resp, err := iter.Next()

			return fmt.Errorf("Could not list metrics: %v", err)
		}
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "%v\n", resp.GetType())
	}
	fmt.Fprintln(w, "Done")
	return nil
}

Java

// Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
String projectId = System.getProperty("projectId");

final MetricServiceClient client = MetricServiceClient.create();
ProjectName name = ProjectName.of(projectId);

ListMetricDescriptorsRequest request =
    ListMetricDescriptorsRequest.newBuilder().setName(name.toString()).build();
ListMetricDescriptorsPagedResponse response = client.listMetricDescriptors(request);

System.out.println("Listing descriptors: ");

for (MetricDescriptor d : response.iterateAll()) {
  System.out.println(d.getName() + " " + d.getDisplayName());
}

Node.js

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const monitoring = require('@google-cloud/monitoring');

// Creates a client
const client = new monitoring.MetricServiceClient();

async function listMetricDescriptors() {
  /**
   * TODO(developer): Uncomment and edit the following lines of code.
   */
  // const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID';

  const request = {
    name: client.projectPath(projectId),
  };

  // Lists metric descriptors
  const [descriptors] = await client.listMetricDescriptors(request);
  console.log('Metric Descriptors:');
  descriptors.forEach(descriptor => console.log(descriptor.name));
}
listMetricDescriptors();

PHP

use Google\Cloud\Monitoring\V3\MetricServiceClient;

/**
 * Example:
 * ```
 * list_descriptors($projectId);
 * ```
 *
 * @param string $projectId Your project ID
 */
function list_descriptors($projectId)
{
    $metrics = new MetricServiceClient([
        'projectId' => $projectId,
    ]);

    $projectName = $metrics->projectName($projectId);
    $descriptors = $metrics->listMetricDescriptors($projectName);

    printf('Metric Descriptors:' . PHP_EOL);
    foreach ($descriptors->iterateAllElements() as $descriptor) {
        printf($descriptor->getName() . PHP_EOL);
    }
}

Python

from google.cloud import monitoring_v3

client = monitoring_v3.MetricServiceClient()
project_name = f"projects/{project_id}"
for descriptor in client.list_metric_descriptors(name=project_name):
    print(descriptor.type)

Ruby

# Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
# project_id = "YOUR_PROJECT_ID"

client = Google::Cloud::Monitoring.metric_service
project_name = client.project_path project: project_id

results = client.list_metric_descriptors name: project_name
results.each do |descriptor|
  p descriptor.type
end
