Google Compute Engine with Operations suite metrics monitoring

Dynatrace Google Cloud integration leverages data collected from the Google Operation API to constantly monitor health and performance of Google Cloud Services. While combining all relevant data into dashboards, it also enables alerting and event tracking.

Prerequisites

Set up integration

Add services and feature sets optional

After integration, Dynatrace automatically monitors a number of preset Google Cloud services and feature sets (metrics). Besides these, you can add more services or feature sets to monitoring. For details, see Add or remove services.

For a list of feature sets available for this service, see Metric table.

View metrics

After deploying the integration, you can see metrics from monitored services in the Metrics browser, Data Explorer, and your dashboard tiles.
