Metrics

The storage dataset fetches metrics from Storage in Google Cloud Platform. It contains all metrics exported from the GCP Storage Monitoring API.

You can specify a single region to fetch metrics like us-central1. Be aware that GCP Storage does not use zones so us-central1-a will return nothing. If no region is specified, it will return metrics from all buckets.

Sample Event

An example event for storage looks as following:

{
    "@timestamp": "2017-10-12T08:05:34.853Z",
    "cloud": {
        "account": {
            "id": "elastic-obs-integrations-dev",
            "name": "elastic-obs-integrations-dev"

            }
        },
        "labels": {
            "user": {

Breaking change View pull request
Move configurations to support metrics. This change is breaking, as it moves
some configuration from the top level variables to data stream variables.

This change involves project_id, credentials_file and credentials_json
variables that are moved from input level configuration to package level
configuration (as those variables are reused across all inputs/data streams).

Users with GCP integration enabled will need to input values for these
variables again when upgrading the policies to this version.
