Google Cloud metrics overview

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:

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.
