Google Cloud Monitoring

Google Cloud Monitoring provides visibility into the performance, availability, and health of applications and infrastructure. It automatically collects metrics for Google Cloud services and also supports hybrid and multicloud environments. The service brings together metrics, uptime checks, dashboards, and alerts; users can build custom dashboards and multi-condition alert policies. Service-level objectives can be inferred automatically or defined by users, with alerts for violations. Script-based synthetic monitors test web applications and APIs. For Kubernetes, Managed Service for Prometheus handles managed or self-deployed metric collection. On supported Linux and Windows virtual machines, the Ops Agent collects logs and metrics and includes third-party application integrations. Alerts can be sent through email, Slack, PagerDuty, Pub/Sub, SMS, webhooks, or the Cloud Mobile App. Cloud Monitoring API v3 offers programmatic access to metrics scopes, dashboards, and alerting policies. It runs in the cloud and lists API, Linux, web, and Windows platforms. Pricing is usage-based, with free monthly allotments on several meters; charges can depend on ingested data, time series returned, and check executions.
