Introduction

Compute Engine instances can run the public images for Linux and Windows Server that Google provides as well as private custom images that you can create or import from your existing systems. You can also deploy Docker containers, which are automatically launched on instances running the Container-Optimized OS public image.

You can choose the machine properties of your instances, such as the number of virtual CPUs and the amount of memory, by using a set of predefined machine types or by creating your own custom machine types.

Each instance belongs to a Google Cloud Console project, and a project can have one or more instances.

  • When you create an instance in a project, you specify the zone, operating system, and machine type of that instance.
  • When you delete an instance, it is removed from the project.

Setup

To set up the OpsRamp Google integration and discover the Google service, go to Google Integration Discovery Profile,
select Instances > Perform Actions and check Manage Devices.

Metrics

OpsRamp MetricMetric Display NameUnitAggregation TypeDescription
google_compute_firewall_dropped_bytes_countFirewall Dropped Bytes CountCountAverageDelta count of incoming bytes dropped by the firewall.

google_compute_instance_cpu_usage_timeCPU usageCountAverageObtain the per-core CPU utilization ratio by performing a rate operation on a point: doubleValue/(end-start), then divide by instance/cpu/reserved_cores at the corresponding end timestamp.
google_compute_instance_cpu_reserved_coresReserved coresCountAverageNumber of cores reserved on the host of the instance.
google_compute_instance_disk_read_bytes_countDisk read bytesBytesAverageDelta count of bytes read from disk.
