Methods
__construct
Constructor.
Parameters
Name
Description
data
array
Optional. Data for populating the Message object.
↳ dry_run
bool
If true, the metric data is collected and reported to Cloud Monitoring, but is not used for load balancing.
↳ max_utilization
float
Optional parameter to define a target utilization for the Custom Metrics balancing mode. The valid range is [0.0, 1.0].
↳ name
string
Name of a custom utilization signal. The name must be 1-64 characters long and match the regular expressiona-z? which means that the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, period, underscore, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash, period, or underscore. For usage guidelines, see Custom Metrics balancing mode. This field can only be used for a global or regional backend service with the loadBalancingScheme set to EXTERNAL_MANAGED, INTERNAL_MANAGED INTERNAL_SELF_MANAGED.
getDryRun
If true, the metric data is collected and reported to Cloud Monitoring, but is not used for load balancing.
