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 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

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.).
