Monitor resources using Cloud Monitoring

Console

To view the metrics for a monitored resource by using the Metrics Explorer, do the following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the leaderboard Metrics explorer page:

   Go to Metrics explorer

   If you use the search bar to find this page, then select the result whose subheading is Monitoring.

2. In the toolbar of the Google Cloud console, select your Google Cloud project. For App Hub configurations, select the App Hub host project or the app-enabled folder's management project.
3. In the Metric element, expand the Select a metric menu, enter Certificate Authority in the filter bar, and then use the submenus to select a specific resource type and metric:
   1. In the Active resources menu, select Certificate Authority.
   2. To select a metric, use the Active metric categories and Active metrics menus. For a list of metrics, see privateca metrics.
   3. Click Apply.

4. To add filters, which remove time series from the query results, use the Filter element.

5. To combine time series, use the menus on the Aggregation element. For example, to display the CPU utilization for your VMs, based on their zone, set the first menu to Mean and the second menu to zone.

   All time series are displayed when the first menu of the Aggregation element is set to Unaggregated. The default settings for the Aggregation element are determined by the metric type you selected.

6. For quota and other metrics that report one sample per day, do the following:
   1. In the Display pane, set the Widget type to Stacked bar chart.
   2. Set the time period to at least one week.

You can create alerting policies to monitor the values of metrics and to notify you when those metrics violate a condition.

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the notifications Alerting page:

   Go to Alerting

   If you use the search bar to find this page, then select the result whose subheading is Monitoring.

2. If you haven't created your notification channels and if you want to be notified, then click Edit Notification Channels and add your notification channels. Return to the Alerting page after you add your channels.
3. From the Alerting page, select Create policy.
4. To select the metric, expand the Select a metric menu and then do the following:
   1. To limit the menu to relevant entries, enter Certificate Authority into the filter bar. If there are no results after you filter the menu, then disable the Show only active resources & metrics toggle.
   2. For the Resource type, select Certificate Authority.
   3. For the Metric category, select Ca.
   4. For the Metric, select a metric from the list of privateca metrics.
   5. Select Apply.
5. Click Next.
