Cloud Monitoring Operational Guide16

Cloud Monitoring is a comprehensive monitoring service that provides a single, unified view of the health, performance, and utilization of your cloud-based infrastructure and applications. With Cloud Monitoring, you can quickly identify and resolve issues, improve performance, and optimize resource utilization.

Getting Started

To get started, you will need to create a Cloud Monitoring project. A project is a container for your monitoring data. You can create a new project by clicking on the "Create Project" button in the Google Cloud Console.

Once you have created a project, you will need to add monitoring agents to your instances. Monitoring agents are software that collects metrics and logs from your instances and sends them to Cloud Monitoring. You can find instructions for installing monitoring agents on the Cloud Monitoring website.

Monitoring Metrics

Metrics are numerical values that represent the performance and utilization of a system. Cloud Monitoring collects a variety of metrics, including:
CPU utilization

You can view metrics in the Cloud Monitoring dashboard or by using the Cloud Monitoring API.

Monitoring Logs

Logs are text-based records of events that occur in a system. Cloud Monitoring collects logs from a variety of sources, including:
Application logs
System logs
Cloud Audit Logs

You can view logs in the Cloud Monitoring dashboard or by using the Cloud Monitoring API.

Creating Alerts
