BMC Helix Continuous Optimization 21.3 ... Collecting data Out-of-the-box ETLs Cloud ETLs Google Cloud Platform - GCP API Extractor

Entities, lookup information, and metrics for Google Cloud Platform

This topic explains the predefined metrics that are available from the Google Cloud Platform services and how they are mapped to the BMC Helix Continuous Optimization metrics. Most of the metrics are available to all your GCP projects.

Entity list

The Google Cloud Platform - GCP API Extractor monitors the following entities:

  • Project - Google Cloud
  • Virtual Machine - Google Cloud

Entity relationship

The following table shows the entity relationship details:

Parent entityChild entityRelationship type

Project - Google Cloud

(project:gcp)

Virtual Machine - Google Cloud

(gm:gcp)

PROJECT_CONTAINS_GM

Lookup information

The following table contains the lookup information for the GCP entities.

Metric mapping

The following tables contain the mapping between the GCP metrics and the BMC Helix Continuous Optimization metrics.

Default performance metrics

The following table contains the out-of-the-box performance metrics that the Google Cloud Platform provides. The Google Cloud metric type names must be prefixed with compute.googleapis.com/. That prefix has been omitted so that the names fit within the table.

1 - Indicates metrics that are set at level 4. These metrics are imported only when the collection level of the ETL is set to ‘Extended’. For information about changing the collection level, see Google Cloud Platform - GCP API Extractor.

The Sub metric label key, Sub metric label value, and Sub resource label key columns are not applicable for the default performance metrics. 

For more information, see the Google Cloud metrics Open link documentation. 

Performance metrics from the agent

The following table contains the performance metrics that you get after installing the Monitoring Agent and enabling the Stackdriver monitoring. The following metric type names must be prefixed with agent.googleapis.com/. That prefix has been omitted so that the names fit within the table.
