Google Cloud Platform - Cloud Storage - Setting up Monitoring

[Will_CMS]

Hi,

I am trying to set up Monitoring on Google Cloud Storage.

At the moment I see absolutely not stats even when set to my zone (europe-west2 (London)).

At the moment I am just uploading data to my bucket but even then I guess I should be seeing something?

It says 'Make sure you have enabled the storage.googleapis.com API for this project.

I have looked in APIs and services but I am not sure where exactly I find the storage.googleapis.com and how or if I need to link it to my storage bucket?

Any help appreciated.

If you're only uploading data to the bucket then there wouldn't be any stats for egress bandwidth, this will only show traffic leaving your bucket to another region.

If you subscribe to services on Google Cloud Platform you need to make sure they are running smoothly by monitoring them. There are lots of tools such as

AppOptics (FREE TRIAL) ...
Site24x7 Infrastructure. ...
Datadog Infrastructure. ...
Paessler PRTG. ...
ManageEngine Applications Manager. ...
Dynatrace. ...
Opsview.

To learn more about google cloud, it's recommended to get your google cloud certification first.
