public sealed class MonitoredResource : IMessage<MonitoredResource>, IEquatable<MonitoredResource>, IDeepCloneable<MonitoredResource>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
An object representing a resource that can be used for monitoring, logging,
billing, or other purposes. Examples include virtual machine instances,
databases, and storage devices such as disks. The type field identifies a
[MonitoredResourceDescriptor][google.api.MonitoredResourceDescriptor] object
that describes the resource's schema. Information in the labels field
identifies the actual resource and its attributes according to the schema.
For example, a particular Compute Engine VM instance could be represented by
the following object, because the
[MonitoredResourceDescriptor][google.api.MonitoredResourceDescriptor] for
"gce_instance" has labels
"project_id", "instance_id" and "zone":
Required. Values for all of the labels listed in the associated monitored
resource descriptor. For example, Compute Engine VM instances use the
labels "project_id", "instance_id", and "zone".
Required. The monitored resource type. This field must match
the type field of a
[MonitoredResourceDescriptor][google.api.MonitoredResourceDescriptor]
object. For example, the type of a Compute Engine VM instance is
gce_instance. Some descriptors include the service name in the type; for
example, the type of a Datastream stream is
datastream.googleapis.com/Stream.
