Learn about the Wavefront Google ML Engine Integration.

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 Bigtable
  • Google Cloud Billing
  • Google Cloud Datastore
  • Google Cloud Dataproc
  • 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 Tanzu Observability by Wavefront. Minimum required permissions you need depend on the services that you are using. See Google Cloud Platform Overview and Permissions for details.

The overall process involves the following:

  • Creating a service account
  • Giving that account viewer privileges
  • Downloading a JSON private key

To register a Google Cloud Platform integration:

  1. In the Name text box, enter a meaningful name.
  2. In the JSON key text box, enter your JSON key to give read-only access to a GCP project. Note: The JSON key is securely stored and never exposed except for read-only access to the GCP APIs.
  3. (Optional) Select the categories to fetch.

  4. (Optional) In the Metric Allow List text box, you can add metrics to an allow list by entering a regular expression.

    For example, to monitor all the CPU metrics coming from the Compute Engine, enter ^gcp.compute.instance.cpu.*$.

  5. (Optional) In the Additional Metric Prefixes text box, enter a comma separated list of additional metrics prefixes. The metrics names that start with these prefixes will be imported in addition to what you have selected as categories.
  6. (Optional) Change the Service Refresh Rate. The default is 5 minutes.

  7. (Optional) Select to enable Detailed Histogram Metrics, Delta Counts, and Pricing & Billing information. Note: Enabling Detailed Histogram Metrics and Delta Counts will increase your ingestion rate and costs.

    If you select to enable the Pricing & Billing information, you must also provide an API key.

  8. Click Register.
Metric Name Description
gcp.ml.prediction.error_count The cumulative count of prediction errors.
gcp.ml.prediction.latencies The latency of overhead, model, or user type.
