Connect Google Cloud Monitoring

Google Cloud Monitoring is a data source for error budgets: Agile Analytics reads your metrics every 30 minutes and measures each SLO against them.

1. Create a service account

  1. In the Google Cloud console, open IAM & Admin → Service accounts in the project that holds the metrics and create a service account, for example agile-analytics-slo.
  2. Give it the Monitoring Viewer role on the project. Nothing else is needed; Agile Analytics only reads.
  3. Open the account, go to Keys → Add key → Create new key, choose JSON and download the file.

2. Add the data source

  1. In Agile Analytics, go to Settings → Error Budgets, press Add Data Source and choose Google Cloud Monitoring.
  2. Give it a name, enter the Project ID (Cloud console → the project's dashboard, or Manage resources) and upload the Credentials JSON.
  3. Press Test to check the credentials, then Save.

3. Add services and SLOs

Continue on the Error budgets page: Error budgets. The filters of an SLO use Cloud Monitoring's filter syntax; examples are on that page.

Replacing the key

Upload a new JSON on the existing card and press Update backend. All SLOs on this data source use the new key from the next measurement.
