Metrics

Screenshot showing dropdown for metric selection.

This section provides usage charts of key instance metrics that you can use to monitor your instances. When working with metric data, keep the following facts in mind:

  • A data point for a metric is an aggregate over all of the databases hosted by the instance.
  • Data is reported in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
  • Rendered charts do not refresh automatically; to see new data, you must refresh the page.
  • There is a delay of a few minutes between when metric data is recorded and the time it is displayed in the usage charts.

For more information about the metrics shown in the chart, see Monitoring Cloud SQL instances.

For a complete list of Cloud SQL metrics provided by Cloud Monitoring, see the Cloud SQL metrics list.

For more information about using Cloud Monitoring with Google Cloud, see the Cloud Monitoring documentation.
