How to count the number of stackdriver metrics using by GCP resources

I have used two external metrics (prometheus) as well as used three log based metrics for monitoring the GKE containers , POD & Cloud SQL .

Through stackdriver metric i could able to get the volume of metric data ingested specifically for above metrics (external & Log-based) but couldn't able to find the exact count of metrics leveraged .

Metric volume data's are generating from multiple metrics , Even though I have specifically used only 5 metrics . Any reason for that ?

Also if metrics are being used by only few resources out of all the resources then how GCP will calculate the price ? Bcoz the calculation is based on number of resources * No. of Metrics * data point

Thanks, Deena

By "count of metrics leveraged" do you mean the number of metrics being monitored? – Gustavo

Here is a list of metrics available to each service. If you require you can count up the ones applicable to you.

Regarding Monitoring pricing the following metrics are non-chargeable (free):

  • Google Cloud metrics
  • Anthos metrics
  • Istio metrics
  • Knative metrics
  • Google Kubernetes Engine metrics
  • agent.googleapis.com/agent/ metrics

However, the External metrics and Logs-based metrics are chargeable and priced by ingested volume as shown below. Pricing documentation and examples.

  • $0.2580/MiB: 150–100,000 MiB
  • $0.1510/MiB: 100,000–250,000 MiB
  • $0.0610/MiB: > 250,000 MiB
