Monitor Health and Performance

Cloud Monitoring provides Cloud Run performance monitoring, metrics, and uptime checks, along with alerts to send notifications when certain metric thresholds are exceeded. Google Cloud Observability pricing applies, which means there is no charge for metrics on the fully managed version of Cloud Run.

Built-in metrics

Cloud Run is automatically integrated with Cloud Monitoring with no setup or configuration required. This means that metrics of your Cloud Run services and jobs are captured automatically when they are running.

You can view metrics either in Cloud Monitoring or in the Cloud Run service and jobs pages in the console. Cloud Monitoring provides more charting and filtering options.

Key Cloud Run metrics include the following:

Metric	Services	Jobs
Billable container instance time	✓	✓
Container startup latency	✓	✓
Container CPU utilisation	✓	✓
Container memory utilisation	✓	✓
Container GPU memory usage	✓

For a list of all available Cloud Run metrics and more in-depth details, refer to the full overview of Cloud Run metrics in Cloud Monitoring.

Create custom metrics

To generate custom metrics from your Cloud Run service, you can deploy a sidecar agent such as OpenTelemetry or Prometheus.

Alternatively, you can use log-based metrics to collect custom metrics.

Resource types

The monitoring resource names for Cloud Run are:

• Cloud Run Revision (cloud_run_revision)
• Cloud Run Job (cloud_run_job)
