GCP Compute Engine OpenTelemetry Assets

This package contains Kibana assets for monitoring Compute Engine virtual machines with Google Cloud Monitoring metrics collected by the OpenTelemetry Collector.

The package is content only. It does not configure data collection. Use the Google Cloud Monitoring (OpenTelemetry) input package (googlecloudmonitor_input_otel) to collect Compute Engine metrics into Elasticsearch.

You need Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data and Kibana for visualizing and managing it. You can use our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, which is recommended, or self-manage the Elastic Stack on your own hardware.

Install the Google Cloud Monitoring OpenTelemetry Input package (googlecloudmonitor_input_otel) and configure it to collect Compute Engine Cloud Monitoring metrics (for example, compute.googleapis.com/instance/cpu/utilization). This content package provides assets that visualize data collected by that input.

When configuring the input package, set the dataset name to gcp.compute.otel so that data is written to the metrics-gcp.compute.otel-default data stream, which these dashboards query.

This integration includes one or more Kibana dashboards that visualizes the data collected by the integration. The screenshots below illustrate how the ingested data is displayed.
