Cloud Monitoring supports the metric types defined by
Google Cloud services. The following pages display the
metric types for a subset of Google Cloud services. Each page lists
services in alphabetical order. The name of a metric type identifies the
associated service. For example, metric types whose name starts with
compute.googleapis.com/ are assigned to the compute service:
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Hard to understand","hardToUnderstand","thumb-down"],["Incorrect information or sample code","incorrectInformationOrSampleCode","thumb-down"],["Missing the information/samples I need","missingTheInformationSamplesINeed","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2025-08-25 UTC."],[],[],null,["# Google Cloud metrics overview\n\nCloud Monitoring supports the metric types defined by\nGoogle Cloud services.
