Google Container Engine¶
DESCRIPTION¶
Use SignalFx to monitor Google Container Engine via Google Cloud Platform.
INSTALLATION¶
To access this integration, connect to Google Cloud Platform.
Note: Stackdriver Monitoring may not be enabled by default for your cluster. To enable it so that these metrics can be retrieved by SignalFx please see this page.
USAGE¶
Interpreting Built-in dashboards¶
Container Engine Overview
- Number of Clusters - Number of clusters running in the project.
- Number of Containers per Cluster - List of counts of number of containers in each cluster.
- Mean and Max CPU Use Percent - List of mean and max percent CPU used for each cluster.
- Memory Usage(Bytes) - Memory usage in bytes for each cluster.
- Container Disk Usage - Container disk usage aggregated by cluster.
- Minor and Major Page Faults per Cluster - Minor and major page faults aggregated by cluster.
Container Engine Container
- CPU Percent - Percent of CPU used by a container.
- Memory Page Faults Count - Memory page fault counts grouped as major or minor.
- Disk Utilization Percent - Percent disk utilization by the container.
- Memory Utilization Percent - Percent memory utilization by the container.
- Reserved Cores - Number of reserved cores for the container.
Container Engine Pod
- Disk Used per Container - List of disk usages, measured in bytes, for all containers.
- Percent Disk Used per Container - Percent disk used aggregated by container.
- Memory Usage per Container - List of memory usages, measured in bytes, for all containers.
- Percent Memory Used per Container - Percent memory used aggregated by container.
- Number of Containers - Number of containers in the pod.
- Minor Page Faults per Container - Rate of minor page faults aggregated by container.
- Major Page Faults per Container - Rate of major page faults aggregated by container.
METRICS¶
For more information about the metrics emitted by Google Container Engine, visit the service’s metric page at https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics#gcp-container
Below is a list of all metrics.
| Metric Name | Brief | Type |
|---|---|---|
| container_cpu_reserved_cores | Number of cores of CPU reserved for the container. If no core limit is set, this will be zero. | gauge |
| container_cpu_usage_time | Cumulative CPU usage on all cores in seconds. This number divided by the elapsed time represents usage as a number of cores, regardless of any core limit that might be set. | cumulative |
| container_cpu_utilization | The percentage of the allocated CPU that is currently in use on the container. If no core limit is set, then this metric is not set. | gauge |
| container_disk_bytes_total | Total number of bytes of capacity on the disk identified by label device_name. | gauge |
| container_disk_bytes_used | Total number of bytes used on the disk identified by label device_name. | gauge |
| container_memory_bytes_total | Memory limit of the container in bytes. | gauge |
| container_memory_bytes_used | Memory usage in bytes, broken down by type: evictable and non-evictable. | gauge |
| container_memory_page_fault_count | Number of page faults, broken down by type: major and minor. | derive |
| container_uptime | Number of seconds since the container started. | cumulative |
container_cpu_reserved_cores¶
gauge
Number of cores of CPU reserved for the container. If no core limit is set, this will be zero.
container_cpu_usage_time¶
cumulative
Cumulative CPU usage on all cores in seconds. This number divided by the elapsed time represents usage as a number of cores, regardless of any core limit that might be set.
container_cpu_utilization¶
gauge
The percentage of the allocated CPU that is currently in use on the container. If no core limit is set, then this metric is not set.
container_disk_bytes_total¶
gauge
Total number of bytes of capacity on the disk identified by label device_name.
container_disk_bytes_used¶
gauge
Total number of bytes used on the disk identified by label device_name.
container_memory_bytes_used¶
gauge
Memory usage in bytes, broken down by type: evictable and non-evictable.
container_memory_page_fault_count¶
derive
Number of page faults, broken down by type: major and minor.
