Cloud Monitoring

A “cloud-monitoring” source provides a client for the Cloud Monitoring API.

About

The cloud-monitoring source provides a client to interact with the Google Cloud Monitoring API. This allows tools to access cloud monitoring metrics explorer and run promql queries.

Authentication can be handled in two ways:

  1. Application Default Credentials (ADC): By default, the source uses ADC to authenticate with the API.
  2. Client-side OAuth: If useClientOAuth is set to true, the source will expect an OAuth 2.0 access token to be provided by the client (e.g., a web browser) for each request.

Example

kind: sources
name: my-cloud-monitoring
type: cloud-monitoring
---
kind: sources
name: my-oauth-cloud-monitoring
type: cloud-monitoring
useClientOAuth: true
