This page describes how to access monitoring data from your Cloud Storage
buckets, including request rates and bandwidth usage. For information about
monitoring in Cloud Storage and what metrics to use to find the data you
want, see Overview of monitoring or
Overview of bandwidth usage monitoring.
Monitor bucket data for individual buckets
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Storage Buckets page.
You can view egress bandwidth usage for your project's buckets using the
Quotas and system limits page with the appropriate metric. For
information about bandwidth monitoring metrics and what data they return,
see Bandwidth monitoring metrics.
For information on programmatically retrieving time series information
for non dual-region quotas, see the ListTimeSeries command, using the
following values for filter:

In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Storage **Buckets** page. \n\n [Go to Buckets](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser)\n2. In the list of buckets, click the name of the bucket for which you want to\n see monitoring data.\n\n3. In the **Bucket details** page, click the **Observability** tab.\n\n Monitoring charts are displayed.\n\nMonitor bucket data for all buckets within a project\n----------------------------------------------------\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Cloud Storage **Buckets** page. \n\n [Go to Buckets](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser)\n2. In the **Cloud Storage** navigation pane, click **Monitoring**.\n\n Monitoring charts are displayed.\n\nThe **Monitoring** page can also be directly accessed using the following URL: \n\n```\nhttps://console.cloud.google.com/storage/monitoring?project=PROJECT_ID\n```\n\nWhere \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003ePROJECT_ID\u003c/var\u003e is the ID of the project whose\nmetrics you want to monitor.\n\nMonitor bandwidth usage\n-----------------------\n\n### Before you begin\n\nIn order to track bandwidth monitoring:\n\n- You must have the [Cloud Storage service `storage.googleapis.com`](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/storage.googleapis.com)\n enabled for your project.\n\n- The usage must be by Google Cloud resources other than Cloud Storage\n buckets.\n\n- If the bucket is located in a region, the usage must be by resources located\n in the same region.\n\n- If the bucket is located in a [dual-region](/storage/docs/locations#location-dr), the usage must be by\n resources located in either of the regions that makes up the dual-region.\n\n- The usage must be from either a [JSON API `GET Object`](/storage/docs/json_api/v1/objects/get) request or a\n [XML API `GET Object`](/storage/docs/xml-api/get-object-download) request.\n\nTo monitor bandwidth usage: \n\n### Console\n\nYou can view egress bandwidth usage for your project's buckets using the\n**Quotas and system limits** page with the appropriate metric.
