ServiceWatch metric

Kubernetes Engine sends metrics to ServiceWatch. The metrics provided by basic monitoring are data collected at 1‑minute intervals.

Reference

Refer to the ServiceWatch guide for how to view metrics in ServiceWatch.

Basic Metrics

The following are the basic metrics for the Kubernetes Engine namespace.

The metrics whose names are displayed in bold below are the key metrics selected from the default metrics provided by Kubernetes Engine. Key metrics are used to configure the service dashboards that are automatically built for each service in ServiceWatch.

Each metric provides guidance in the user guide on which statistical values are meaningful when viewing that metric, and among the meaningful statistics, the values shown in bold are the primary statistics. The service dashboard allows you to view key metrics using primary statistical values.
