Cloud Monitoring supports the metric types that Google Cloud services define. Services write metric data to record performance information. For example, a metric might record the CPU usage for a Compute Engine instance.
Each Google Cloud metric has a type, which has the format
API.googleapis.com/METRIC_PATH.
The field API.googleapis.com specifies a service domain and
it identifies the Google Cloud service or product area that owns and emits
the metric. The field METRIC_PATH provides a hierarchical path that
uniquely identifies the specific metric within the service domain.
The reference pages list metric types by service domain:
- Name begins with A or B
- Name begins with C
- Name begins with D through H
- Name begins with I through O
- Name begins with P through Z
For each domain, the metrics are listed alphabetically.
The following table can help you find the available metric types for a service.
For example, if you enter GKE in the filter bar, then the
table provides links to your GKE metric types.
