Google Storage

Overview

Google Cloud Storage is unified object storage for developers and enterprises, from live data serving to data analytics/ML to data archiving.

Get metrics from Google Storage to:

  • Visualize the performance of your Storage services.
  • Correlate the performance of your Storage services with your applications.

Setup

Installation

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

Configuration

To collect custom Cloud Storage labels as tags, enable the cloud asset inventory permission.

Log collection

Google Cloud Storage logs are collected with Google Cloud Logging and sent to a Cloud pub/sub with an HTTP push forwarder. If you haven’t already, set up a Cloud pub/sub with an HTTP push forwarder .

Once this is done, export your Google Cloud Storage logs from Google Cloud Logging to the pub/sub:

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