GKE system metrics

When Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) system metrics are enabled, Cloud Monitoring collects the following metrics.

About the tables of metrics

The tables of metrics provide formatted versions of the publicly available metric descriptors. This section provides additional information to help you interpret and use these descriptors.

  • For a general explanation of the entries in the tables, including information about values like DELTA and GAUGE, see Metric types.

  • For information about the units used in the metric lists, see the unit field in the MetricDescriptor reference.

  • For information about statements of the form “Sampled every x seconds” and “After sampling, data is not visible for up to y seconds”, see Additional information: metadata.

  • The resource-hierarchy level tells you if the metric is written at the project, organization, or folder level(s). When the level is not specified in the metric descriptor, the metric writes at the project level by default.

  • For information about the meaning of launch stages such as GA (General Availability) and BETA (Preview), see Product launch stages.
