GCP Compute Engine¶

Collect Metrics for GCP Compute Engine virtual machines, including CPU, memory, disk, and network resources

Configuration¶

Install Func¶

It is recommended to activate the TrueWatch integration - Extensions - DataFlux Func (Automata): all prerequisites are automatically installed. Please proceed with the script installation.

For self-deploying Func, refer to Self-deploying Func

Install Script¶

1. Log in to the Func console, click on 【Script Market】, and enter the TrueWatch script market. Search for integration_gcp_gce.

2. Click 【Install】, then input the relevant parameters: account file name, Target Principal, and account name.

3. Click 【Deploy Startup Script】, the system will automatically create a Startup script set and configure the corresponding startup scripts.

4. After enabling, you can see the corresponding automatic trigger configuration in 「Manage / Automatic Trigger Configuration」. Click 【Execute】 to immediately run it once without waiting for the scheduled time. After a short while, you can check the execution task records and corresponding logs.

Verification¶

1. In 「Manage / Automatic Trigger Configuration」, confirm if the corresponding task has the automatic trigger configuration. You can also check the task records and logs for any anomalies.
2. In TrueWatch, check if asset information exists in 「Infrastructure / Custom」.
3. In TrueWatch, check if there are corresponding monitoring data in 「Metrics」.
