Get bucket size

Console

To view the metrics for a monitored resource by using the Metrics Explorer, do the following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the leaderboard Metrics explorer page:

   Go to Metrics explorer

   If you use the search bar to find this page, then select the result whose subheading is Monitoring .

2. In the toolbar of the Google Cloud console, select your Google Cloud project. For App Hub configurations, select the App Hub host project or the app-enabled folder's management project.
3. In the Metric element, expand the Select a metric menu, enter Total bytes (v2) in the filter bar, and then use the submenus to select a specific resource type and metric:
   1. In the Active resources menu, select GCS Bucket .
   2. In the Active metric categories menu, select Storage .
   3. In the Active metrics menu, select Total bytes (v2) .
   4. Click Apply .
   The fully qualified name for this metric is storage.googleapis.com/storage/v2/total_bytes .

4. To add filters, which remove time series from the query results, use the Filter element .

5. To combine time series, use the menus on the Aggregation element . For example, to display the CPU utilization for your VMs, based on their zone, set the first menu to Mean and the second menu to zone .

   All time series are displayed when the first menu of the Aggregation element is set to Unaggregated . The default settings for the Aggregation element are determined by the metric type you selected.

6. For quota and other metrics that report one sample per day, do the following:
   1. In the Display pane, set the Widget type to Stacked bar chart .
   2. Set the time period to at least one week.

You can also use the Metrics Explorer to measure other bucket metrics such as storage.googleapis.com/storage/object_countand storage.googleapis.com/storage/v2/total_byte_seconds, which measure the daily number of objects and the daily storage consumed, respectively. See the Google Cloud metrics documentation for a complete list of available metrics and Metrics, time series, and resources for more information about using the Metrics Explorer.

Command line

Use the gcloud storage du command with a --summarize flag:

gcloud storage du gs:// BUCKET_NAME 
--summarize

where BUCKET_NAME is the name of the relevant bucket.

The response looks like the following example:

134620      gs://my-bucket

In this example, the size of the bucket named my-bucket is 134,620 bytes.
