MonitoredResourceDescriptor

An object that describes the schema of a MonitoredResource object using a type name and a set of labels. For example, the monitored resource descriptor for Google Compute Engine VM instances has a type of "gce_instance" and specifies the use of the labels "instance_id" and "zone" to identify particular VM instances.

Different APIs can support different monitored resource types. APIs generally provide a list method that returns the monitored resource descriptors used by the API.

name

string

Optional. The resource name of the monitored resource descriptor: "projects/{projectId}/monitoredResourceDescriptors/{type}" where {type} is the value of the type field in this object and {projectId} is a project ID that provides API-specific context for accessing the type. APIs that do not use project information can use the resource name format "monitoredResourceDescriptors/{type}".
type

string

Required. The monitored resource type. For example, the type "cloudsql_database" represents databases in Google Cloud SQL. For a list of types, see Monitored resource types and Logging resource types.
displayName
