Full-stack monitoring, powered by Google Cloud
Cloud Monitoring provides visibility into the performance, uptime, and overall health of cloud-powered applications. It collects metrics, events, and metadata from Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, hosted uptime probes, application instrumentation, and a variety of common application components including Cassandra, Nginx, Apache Web Server, Elasticsearch, and many others. Operations ingests that data and generates insights via dashboards, charts, and alerts. Cloud Monitoring alerting helps you collaborate by integrating with Slack, PagerDuty, and more.
For Google Cloud, AWS, and hybrid deployments
Cloud Monitoring discovers and monitors your cloud resources automatically, whether you are running on Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services. The service includes default dashboards for many Google Cloud and AWS services out of the box and incorporates not only metrics but also critical metadata from these providers, making it easy to understand the relationships between components and monitor autoscaling clusters.
Identify trends, prevent issues
Flexible dashboards and rich visualization tools help you identify emergent issues. Anomaly reporting, pattern detection, and exhaustion prediction provide insights into longer-term trends that may require attention.
Reduce monitoring overhead
One integrated service for metrics, dashboards, uptime monitoring, and alerting means that you spend less time maintaining disparate systems.
Improve signal-to-noise
Advanced alerting capabilities, including rate of change, cluster aggregation, and multi-condition policies, help you ensure that you are notified when critical issues occur, while reducing the likelihood of false positives.
Fix problems faster
Use integrated uptime monitoring and health checks to be notified quickly when endpoints become inaccessible to your users. Drill down from alerts to dashboards to logs and traces in order to identify root cause quickly.
Features
AWS integration
Discover and monitor AWS resources and application services out of the box, including EC2, S3, Auto Scaling, ELB, SQS, RDS, DynamoDB, and many more.
Custom metrics
Instrument your application to monitor application and business-level metrics via Cloud Monitoring.
Google Cloud integration
Discover and monitor Google Cloud resources and services, including Compute Engine, App Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud SQL, Datastore, BigQuery, networking, Pub/Sub, and several more. Get native integration with Google's data platform.
Monitoring agent
Deploy our open source agent on your AWS or Google Cloud hosts to monitor key system resources and common application components.
Logging integration
Drill down from dashboards and charts to logs. Create, visualize, and alert on metrics based on log data.
Dashboards
Get core visibility into your cloud resources and services with no configuration. Define custom dashboards and take advantage of Google’s powerful data visualization tools.
Group/cluster support
Define relationships based on resource names, tags, security groups, projects, regions, accounts, and other criteria. Use those relationships to create targeted dashboards and topology-aware alerting policies.
Alerting
Configure alerting policies to notify you when events occur or particular system or custom metrics violate rules that you define. Use multiple conditions to define complex alerting rules. Receive notifications via email, SMS, Slack, PagerDuty, and more.
Uptime monitoring
Monitor the availability of your internet-accessible URLs, VMs, APIs, and load-balancers from probes around the globe. Use Cloud Monitoring alerting to be notified of outages.
