Updated at November 11, 2025
  • VM and disk metrics
  • File storage metrics
  • Instance group metrics

This section describes the Compute Cloud metrics delivered to Monitoring.

The metric name goes into the name label.

All Compute Cloud metrics share the service=compute label.

Note

If the resource name is set, it will be returned in a response from Compute Cloud. Otherwise, the response will return the resource ID.
