Methods

MetricServiceClient

MetricServiceClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

Constructor.

Parameters
NameDescription
channel grpc.Channel

DEPRECATED. A Channel instance through which to make calls. This argument is mutually exclusive with credentials; providing both will raise an exception.

credentials google.auth.credentials.Credentials

The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify this application to the service. If none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment. This argument is mutually exclusive with providing a transport instance to transport; doing so will raise an exception.

client_config dict

DEPRECATED. A dictionary of call options for each method. If not specified, the default configuration is used.

client_info google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo

The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If None, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.

client_options Union[dict, google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions]

Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint should be set through client_options.

create_metric_descriptor

create_metric_descriptor(name, metric_descriptor, retry=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, metadata=None)

Creates a new metric descriptor. User-created metric descriptors define custom metrics <https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/custom-metrics>__.

.. rubric:: Example

from google.cloud import monitoring_v3

client = monitoring_v3.MetricServiceClient()

name = client.project_path('[PROJECT]')

TODO: Initialize metric_descriptor:

metric_descriptor = {}

response = client.create_metric_descriptor(name, metric_descriptor)

Parameters
NameDescription
name str

The project on which to execute the request. The format is "projects/{project_id_or_number}".

metric_descriptor Union[dict, MetricDescriptor]

The new custom metric https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/custom-metrics__ descriptor. If a dict is provided, it must be of the same form as the protobuf message MetricDescriptor

retry Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry]

A retry object used to retry requests. If None is specified, requests will not be retried.

timeout Optional[float]

The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the request to complete. Note that if retry is specified, the timeout applies to each individual attempt.

metadata Optional[Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]]

Additional metadata that is provided to the method.

Exceptions
TypeDescription
google.api_core.exceptions.GoogleAPICallErrorIf the request failed for any reason.
google.api_core.exceptions.RetryErrorIf the request failed due to a retryable error and retry attempts failed.
ValueErrorIf the parameters are invalid.

create_time_series

create_time_series(name, time_series, retry=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, metadata=None)

Creates or adds data to one or more time series. The response is empty if all time series in the request were written. If any time series could not be written, a corresponding failure message is included in the error response.
