View Google Cloud packet loss dashboard

Performance Dashboard metrics are automatically collected for the overall Google Cloud packet loss metrics for each possible Google Cloud zone pair.

Events affecting Performance Dashboard metrics might take up to 10 minutes to appear.

The packet loss graph shows packet loss over time. The vertical axis shows the percentage of packet loss, and the horizontal axis shows when the losses occurred for the chosen regions.
