Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Monitoring V3 API module Google::Cloud::Monitoring::V3::GroupService.
The Group API lets you inspect and manage your
groups.
A group is a named filter that is used to identify
a collection of monitored resources. Groups are typically used to
mirror the physical and/or logical topology of the environment.
Because group membership is computed dynamically, monitored
resources that are started in the future are automatically placed
in matching groups. By using a group to name monitored resources in,
for example, an alert policy, the target of that alert policy is
updated automatically as monitored resources are added and removed
from the infrastructure.
