Reference documentation and code samples for the Google API Common Protos Client class MonitoredResource.
An object representing a resource that can be used for monitoring, logging,
billing, or other purposes. Examples include virtual machine instances,
databases, and storage devices such as disks. Thetypefield identifies aMonitoredResourceDescriptorobject
that describes the resource's schema. Information in thelabelsfield
identifies the actual resource and its attributes according to the schema.
For example, a particular Compute Engine VM instance could be represented by
the following object, because theMonitoredResourceDescriptorfor"gce_instance"has labels"project_id","instance_id"and"zone":
{ "type": "gce_instance",
"labels": { "project_id": "my-project",
"instance_id": "12345678901234",
"zone": "us-central1-a" }}

Optional. Data for populating the Message object.
↳ type
string
Required. The monitored resource type. This field must match thetypefield of aMonitoredResourceDescriptorobject. For example, the type of a Compute Engine VM instance isgce_instance.

Required. Values for all of the labels listed in the associated monitored resource descriptor. For example, Compute Engine VM instances use the labels"project_id","instance_id", and"zone".
getType
Required. The monitored resource type. This field must match
thetypefield of aMonitoredResourceDescriptorobject. For example, the type of a Compute Engine VM instance isgce_instance. Some descriptors include the service name in the type; for
example, the type of a Datastream stream isdatastream.googleapis.com/Stream.
