groundcover supports ingesting Google Cloud Monitoring Metrics directly into our platform, allowing you to visualize them using dashboards and create alerts.
The integration pulls data from Google Cloud Monitoring every five minutes.
Data fetched is stored in the Victoria Metrics database, meaning metrics are queried via the Google Cloud Monitoring API only one time per data point.
groundcover supports ingestion of every GCP service listed in the GCP . All metrics listed under that service will be fetched.
The list is also available below:
