Metrics

edit

The compute dataset is designed to fetch metrics for Compute Engine Virtual Machines in Google Cloud Platform. It contains all metrics exported from the GCP Cloud Monitoring API.

Extra labels and metadata are also extracted using the Compute API. This is enough to get most of the info associated with a metric like Compute labels and metadata and metric specific Labels.

Sample Event

edit
Example

An example event for compute looks as following:

Breaking change (View pull request)
Move configurations to support metrics. This change is breaking, as it moves some configuration from the top level variables to data stream variables.

This change involves project_id, credentials_file and credentials_json variables that are moved from input level configuration to package level configuration (as those variables are reused across all inputs/data streams).

Users with GCP integration enabled will need to input values for these variables again when upgrading the policies to this version.
