Support for monitoring Google Cloud service metrics
editIn this release, we’ve added support for monitoring Google Cloud operations
suite (formerly Stackdriver). The new
stackdriver
metricset in the Google Cloud Platform module collects any service metrics from
Google Cloud by using the ListTimeSeries
API call.
For a full list of metric types that Google Cloud monitoring supports, see the Google Cloud metrics documentation.
Specialized Linux integration
editTo simplify Linux monitoring, we’ve introduced a new Linux module that contains metrics exclusive to the Linux kernel and various subsystems. This is done primarily to avoid cluttering the System module with metricsets that are not broadly cross-compatible. The new Linux module currently includes these metricsets: pageinfo, ksm, and conntrack.
