Overview

Defines a metric type and its schema. Once a metric descriptor is created, deleting or altering it stops data collection and makes the metric type's existing data unusable.

#labels ⇒ Array<Google::Api::LabelDescriptor>

Returns The set of labels that can be used to describe a specific instance of this metric type. For example, the +appengine.googleapis.com/http/server/response_latencies+ metric type has a label for the HTTP response code, +response_code+, so you can look at latencies for successful responses or just for responses that failed.

#name ⇒ String

Returns The resource name of the metric descriptor. Depending on the implementation, the name typically includes: (1) the parent resource name that defines the scope of the metric type or of its data; and (2) the metric's URL-encoded type, which also appears in the +type+ field of this descriptor. For example, following is the resource name of a custom metric within the GCP project 123456789:

"projects/123456789/metricDescriptors/custom.googleapis.com%2Finvoice%2Fpaid%2Famount"

#type ⇒ String

Returns The metric type, including its DNS name prefix. The type is not URL-encoded. All user-defined metric types have the DNS name +custom.googleapis.com+. Metric types should use a natural hierarchical grouping. For example:

#unit ⇒ String

Returns The unit in which the metric value is reported. It is only applicable if the +value_type+ is +INT64+, +DOUBLE+, or +DISTRIBUTION+. The supported units are a subset of Unified Code for Units of Measure[http://unitsofmeasure.org/ucum.html] standard:

Basic units (UNIT)

  • +bit+ bit
  • +By+ byte
  • +s+ second
  • +min+ minute
  • +h+ hour
  • +d+ day

Prefixes (PREFIX)

  • +k+ kilo (10**3)
  • +M+ mega (10**6)
  • +G+ giga (10**9)
  • +T+ tera (10**12)
  • +P+ peta (10**15)
  • +E+ exa (10**18)
  • +Z+ zetta (10**21)
  • +Y+ yotta (10**24)
  • +m+ milli (10**-3)
  • +u+ micro (10**-6)
  • +n+ nano (10**-9)
  • +p+ pico (10**-12)
  • +f+ femto (10**-15)
  • +a+ atto (10**-18)
  • +z+ zepto (10**-21)
  • +y+ yocto (10**-24)
  • +Ki+ kibi (2**10)
  • +Mi+ mebi (2**20)
  • +Gi+ gibi (2**30)
  • +Ti+ tebi (2**40)

Grammar

The grammar includes the dimensionless unit +1+, such as +1/s+.

The grammar also includes these connectors:

  • +/+ division (as an infix operator, e.g. +1/s+).
  • +.+ multiplication (as an infix operator, e.g. +GBy.d+)

The grammar for a unit is as follows:

Expression = Component { "." Component } { "/" Component } ;

Component = [ PREFIX ] UNIT [ Annotation ]
          | Annotation
          | "1"
          ;

Annotation = "{" NAME "}" ;

Notes:

  • +Annotation+ is just a comment if it follows a +UNIT+ and is equivalent to +1+ if it is used alone. For examples, +requests/s == 1/s+, +Bytransmitted/s == By/s+.
  • +NAME+ is a sequence of non-blank printable ASCII characters not containing 'or ''.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The unit in which the metric value is reported. It is only applicable if the +value_type+ is +INT64+, +DOUBLE+, or +DISTRIBUTION+. The supported units are a subset of Unified Code for Units of Measure[http://unitsofmeasure.org/ucum.html] standard:
