Generate Gemini Code Assist metrics

This document describes how to generate Gemini Code Assist metrics. For example, you can generate metrics that report the daily active usage or the acceptance of code recommendations for a variety of Google Cloud products, including Cloud Logging, Google Cloud CLI, Cloud Monitoring, and BigQuery.

If you need to enable and view Gemini for Google Cloud prompt, response, and metadata logs, see View Gemini for Google Cloud logs.

Before you begin

  • Ensure you have set up Gemini Code Assist in your project.

  • Ensure you have enabled Gemini for Google Cloud logging in your project.

  • In the Google Cloud console, activate Cloud Shell.

    Activate Cloud Shell

    At the bottom of the Google Cloud console, a Cloud Shell session starts and displays a command-line prompt. Cloud Shell is a shell environment with the Google Cloud CLI already installed and with values already set for your current project. It can take a few seconds for the session to initialize.

List the number of unique users

The following instructions describe how to use the gcloud CLI to list the number of unique users of Gemini Code Assist in the most recent 28-day period:

  1. In a shell environment, ensure that you have updated all installed components of the gcloud CLI to the latest version:

    gcloud components update

  2. Read the log entries for Gemini Code Assist users and usage:

    gcloud logging read 'resource.type=cloudaicompanion.googleapis.com/Instance labels.product=~"code_assist"' \
--freshness 28d \
--project PROJECT_ID \
--format "csv(timestamp.date('%Y-%m-%d'),labels.user_id)"

    Replace PROJECT_ID with your Google Cloud project ID.

    You can use the Unix command uniq to uniquely identify users on a per-day basis.

    The output is similar to the following:

    2024-10-30,user1@company.com
2024-10-29,user2@company.com
2024-10-29,user2@company.com
2024-10-29,user2@company.com
2024-10-29,user1@company.com
2024-10-28,user1@company.com

Create a chart that displays daily usage

The following steps show how to use Monitoring to create daily use graphs that show the aggregate total of daily active Gemini Code Assist users and the number of their requests per day.

  1. Create a Monitoring metric from your log data that records the number of Gemini Code Assist users:

    1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Logs Explorer page:

      Go to Logs Explorer

      If you use the search bar to find this page, then select the result whose subheading is Logging.

    2. In the query pane, enter the following query, and then click Run query:

       resource.type="cloudaicompanion.googleapis.com/Instance" AND labels.product="code_assist" AND jsonPayload.@type="type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.cloudaicompanion.logging.v1.ResponseLog"

    3. In the toolbar, click Actions, and then select Create metric.

      The Create log-based metric dialog appears.

    4. Configure the following metric details:

      • Ensure the Metric Type is set to Counter.
      • Name the metric code_assist_example.

      • Ensure Filter selection is set to point to the location where your logs are being stored, either Project or Bucket.

        For information about generating Monitoring metrics from your log data, see Log-based metrics overview.

    5. Click Create metric.

      A success banner is displayed, explaining the metric was created.

    6. In that success banner, click View in Metrics explorer.

      Metrics Explorer opens and displays a preconfigured chart.

  2. Save the chart to a dashboard:

    1. In the toolbar, click Save chart.
    2. Optional: Update the chart title.
    3. Use the Dashboard menu either to select an existing custom dashboard or to create a new dashboard.
    4. Click Save chart.

Analyze usage by using BigQuery

The following steps show how to use BigQuery to analyze your log data.

There are two approaches that you can use to analyze your log data in BigQuery:

  • Create a log sink and export your log data to a BigQuery dataset.
  • Upgrade the log bucket that stores your log data to use Log Analytics, and then create a linked BigQuery dataset.

With both approaches, you can use SQL to query and analyze your log data, and you can chart the results of those queries. If you use Log Analytics, then you can save your charts to a custom dashboard. However, there are differences in pricing. For details, see Log Analytics pricing and BigQuery pricing.

This section describes how to create a log sink to export select log entries to BigQuery, and it provides a list of sample queries. If you want to know more about Log Analytics, see Query and analyze logs with Log Analytics and Query a linked BigQuery dataset.

Create a log sink

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Log Router page:

    Go to Log Router

    If you use the search bar to find this page, then select the result whose subheading is Logging.

  2. Select the Google Cloud project in which the log entries that you want to route originate.
  3. Select Create sink.

  4. In the Sink details panel, enter the following details:

    • For Sink name, provide an identifier for the sink. After you create the sink, you can't rename the sink but you can delete it and create a new sink.

    • For Sink description, describe the purpose or use case for the sink.

  5. In the Sink destination panel, configure the following details:

    • For Select sink service, select BigQuery dataset.
    • For Select BigQuery dataset, create a new BigQuery dataset and name it code_assist_bq.

  6. Open the Choose logs to include in sink panel, and in the Build inclusion filter field, enter the following:

    resource.type="cloudaicompanion.googleapis.com/Instance" AND labels.product="code_assist"

  7. Optional: To verify that you entered the correct filter, select Preview logs. The Logs Explorer opens in a new tab with the filter pre-populated.

  8. Click Create sink.

Authorize the log sink to write log entries to the dataset

When you have Owner access to the BigQuery dataset, Cloud Logging grants the log sink the necessary permissions to write log data.

If you don't have Owner access or if you don't see any entries in your dataset, then the log sink might not have the required permissions. To resolve this failure, follow the instructions in Set destination permissions.

Queries

You can use the following sample BigQuery queries to generate user- and aggregate-level data for daily active use and suggestions generated.

Before using the following sample queries, you must obtain the fully qualified path for the newly created sink. To obtain the path, do the following:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the BigQuery page.

    Go to BigQuery

  2. In the resources list, locate the dataset named code_assist_bq. This data is the sink destination.

  3. Select the responses table from beneath the code_assist_bq_dataset, click the icon, and then click Copy ID to generate the dataset ID. Make note of it so that you can use it in the following sections as the GENERATED_BIGQUERY_TABLE variable.

List individual users by day

SELECT DISTINCT labels.user_id as user, DATE(timestamp) as use_date
FROM GENERATED_BIGQUERY_TABLE
ORDER BY use_date

Replace GENERATED_BIGQUERY_TABLE with the fully qualified path of the BigQuery response table you noted in the previous steps for creating a sink.

List aggregate users by day

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT labels.user_id) as total_users, DATE(timestamp) as use_date
FROM GENERATED_BIGQUERY_TABLE
GROUP BY use_date
ORDER BY use_date

List individual requests per day by user

SELECT COUNT(*), DATE(timestamp) as use_date, labels.user_id as user
FROM GENERATED_BIGQUERY_TABLE
GROUP BY use_date, user
ORDER BY use_date

List aggregate requests per day by date

SELECT COUNT(*), DATE(timestamp) as use_date
FROM GENERATED_BIGQUERY_TABLE
GROUP BY use_date
ORDER BY use_date
