Cloud Monitoring collects measurements to help you understand how your applications and system services are performing. A collection of these measurements is generically called a metric. The applications and system services being monitored are called monitored resources.
For a general explanation of the entries in the tables, see Metric types.
For information about the units used in the metric lists, see the
unitfield in theMetricDescriptorreference.For information about statements of the form “Sampled every x seconds” and “After sampling, data is not visible for up to y seconds”, see Additional information: metadata.
For a set of complete, current lists of supported metric types, see Metrics list.
