Google Cloud Platform Integration
The Google Cloud Platform integration is full-featured native integration offering agentless data ingestion of GCP metric data, as well as pre-defined dashboards and alert conditions for certain GCP services.
Metrics Configuration
Wavefront ingests Google Cloud Platform metrics using the v3 Stackdriver Monitoring APIs. For details on the metrics, see the metrics documentation.
Metrics originating from Google Cloud Platform are prefixed with gcp. within Wavefront. Once the integration has
been set up, you can browse the available GCP metrics in the metrics browser.
Dashboards
Wavefront provides Google Cloud Platform dashboards for the following services:
- Google App Engine
- Google BigQuery
- Google Cloud Billing
- Google Cloud Datastore
- Google Cloud Functions
- Google Cloud Logging
- Google Cloud Pub/Sub
- Google Cloud Router
- Google Cloud Spanner
- Google Cloud Storage
- Google Cloud VPN
- Google Compute Engine
- Google Container Engine
- Google Firebase
- Google Kubernetes Engine
- Google ML Engine
Alerts
The Google Cloud Platform integration dashboard contains predefined alert conditions. These conditions are embedded as queries in the dashboard’s charts. For example:
To create the alert, click the Create Alert link under the query and configure the alert properties (notification targets, condition checking frequency, etc.).
Google Cloud Platform Integration
Add a GCP Integration
Adding a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) integration requires establishing a trust relationship between GCP and Wavefront. You do that by creating a service account, giving that account viewer privileges, and downloading a JSON key. Click How to get the JSON key and follow the instructions on the left.
Required Permissions
Minimum required permissions you need depend on the services you are using.
See Google Cloud Platform Overview and Permissions for details.
Metrics
See Google Cloud metrics documentation for Metrics descriptions.
