A Google Cloud Monitoring is a Cloud Monitoring Tool that provides comprehensive monitoring capabilities for resources and applications on Google Cloud Platform.

  • Context:
    • It can (typically) monitor and manage the health, performance, and availability of cloud applications and services.
    • It can (often) integrate with other Google Cloud Services such as Google Cloud Logging and Google Cloud Trace for enhanced visibility.
    • ...
    • It can range from monitoring basic metrics like CPU usage and network traffic to more complex application-level insights through its operations suite.
    • ...
    • It can provide real-time alerts and dashboards to help users respond to incidents quickly and has introduced advanced features such as Monitoring Query Language (MQL).
    • It can leverage advanced machine learning algorithms to predict potential issues before they affect users and has evolved to include more sophisticated diagnostic tools like a debugger and a profiler.
    • ...
  • Example(s):
    • 2014, when Google acquired Stackdriver Monitoring, introducing monitoring capabilities for multi-cloud environments.
    • 2016, when Google Stackdriver launched as a unified monitoring, logging, and diagnostics service.
    • 2020, when Stackdriver Monitoring was rebranded as Google Cloud Monitoring as part of the Google Cloud operations suite.
    • 2022, when advanced features like Monitoring Query Language (MQL) and uptime checks were enhanced and updated.
    • ...
  • Counter-Example(s):
  • See: Cloud Performance Management, System Health Monitoring, Real-Time Analytics, Google Cloud Logging Service.

  • Perplexity
    • Google Cloud Monitoring (previously known as Stackdriver Monitoring) was officially integrated into the Google Cloud Platform around 2014, following Google's acquisition of Stackdriver, a company specializing in cloud monitoring and logging services, in the same year.[1]
    • The service has since evolved and expanded, offering extensive monitoring capabilities specifically tailored for Google Cloud resources and applications, as part of Google Cloud's operations suite (formerly known as Stackdriver).[1][2]
    • Some key milestones and updates for Google Cloud Monitoring include:
      • December 2019: Stackdriver Monitoring in the Cloud Console entered beta release, allowing configuration and management from both the Cloud Console and classic Stackdriver Console.[2]
      • July 2020: Monitoring Query Language (MQL) for querying data and creating charts became generally available.[2]
      • August 2022: Pricing for uptime checks in Cloud Monitoring was introduced, effective October 1, 2022.[2]
    • So while Google Cloud Monitoring has been part of GCP for several years, its origins can be traced back to the 2014 acquisition of Stackdriver, after which it was integrated and rebranded as a core monitoring service within the Google Cloud operations suite.[1][2]

    • What is Google Cloud operations (formerly Stackdriver)?

       Google Stackdriver was a monitoring service that provided IT teams with performance data about applications and virtual machines (VMs) running on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services public cloud. Stackdriver was upgraded in 2020 with new features and rebranded as part of the Google Cloud operations suite of tools. Google Cloud operations enables organizations to monitor, troubleshoot and operate cloud deployments. It adds advanced observability features, including a debugger and a profiler. ...

    • QUOTE: ... In a few words, Google Cloud Monitoring and Logging are successors of Google Stackdriver monitoring and logging, as a result users have more unified experience in the Google Ecosystem. To find more details you can have a look at the documentation Operations (formerly Stackdriver) and Release notes.
    • To compare Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging you can check documentation:
      • Cloud Monitoring collects metrics, events, and metadata from Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), hosted uptime probes, and application instrumentation. Google Cloud's operations suite ingests that data and generates insights via dashboards, charts, and alerts.
      • Cloud Logging allows you to store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on logging data and events from Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services. ...
