Monitoring key metrics for cloud volumes is integrated within Cloud Monitoring. The lag time for some metrics can be up to 20 minutes.
You can create a dashboard view in Cloud Monitoring, add charts by selecting
the NetApp Cloud Volumes resource type, and choose the following available
metrics. For the metrics you choose, add netapp.com/cloudvolume/ to the API
metric name. That prefix, though required, does not appear in the following
table.
