Google Datastore

Overview

Cloud Datastore is a highly-scalable NoSQL database for your web and mobile applications.

Get metrics from Google Datastore to:

  • Visualize the performance of your Datastores.
  • Correlate the performance of your Datastores with your applications.

Setup

Installation

If you haven’t already, set up the Google Cloud Platform integration first. There are no other installation steps that need to be performed.

Log collection

Google Cloud Datastore logs are collected with Google Cloud Logging and sent to a Dataflow job through a Cloud Pub/Sub topic. If you haven’t already, set up logging with the Datadog Dataflow template.

Once this is done, export your Google Cloud Datastore logs from Google Cloud Logging to the Pub/Sub topic:

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Logging page and filter the Google Cloud Datastore logs.
  2. Click Create Export and name the sink.
  3. Choose “Cloud Pub/Sub” as the destination and select the Pub/Sub topic that was created for that purpose. Note: The Pub/Sub topic can be located in a different project.
  4. Click Create and wait for the confirmation message to show up.
