Cloud Monitoring quotas and limits

This document lists the quotas and system limits that apply to Cloud Monitoring.

• Quotas have default values, but you can typically request adjustments.
• System limits are fixed values that can't be changed.

Cloud de Confiance by S3NS uses quotas to help ensure fairness and reduce spikes in resource use and availability. A quota restricts how much of a Cloud de Confiance resource your Cloud de Confiance project can use. Quotas apply to a range of resource types, including hardware, software, and network components. For example, quotas can restrict the number of API calls to a service, the number of load balancers used concurrently by your project, or the number of projects that you can create. Quotas protect the community of Cloud de Confiance users by preventing the overloading of services. Quotas also help you to manage your own Cloud de Confiance resources.

The Cloud Quotas system does the following:

• Monitors your consumption of Cloud de Confiance products and services
• Restricts your consumption of those resources
• Provides a way to request changes to the quota value and automate quota adjustments

In most cases, when you attempt to consume more of a resource than its quota allows, the system blocks access to the resource, and the task that you're trying to perform fails.

Quotas generally apply at the Cloud de Confiance project level. Your use of a resource in one project doesn't affect your available quota in another project. Within a Cloud de Confiance project, quotas are shared across all applications and IP addresses.

For more information, see the Cloud Quotas overview.

To adjust most quotas, use the Cloud de Confiance console. For more information, see Request a quota adjustment.

There are also system limits on Monitoring resources. System limits can't be changed.
