GCP Metrics Collection

Kloudfuse integrates with the GCP cloud service to collect metrics.

Complete these tasks to successfully collect metrics:

• Create Credentials File
• Create Kubernetes Secret
• Configure Kloudfuse to Collect Metrics

Create Credentials File

1. In the Google Cloud console, navigate to Menu > IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.
2. Select your service account, or create a new one.

Ensure that the service account has Monitoring Viewer permissions to collect GCP metrics. 3. Select Keys > Add key > Create new key. 4. Select JSON, then click Create. 5. Click Close.

Create Kubernetes Secret

Create a Kubernetes secret from the credentials file. Name the file credentials.json.

kubectl create secret generic kfuse-sd-secret --from-file=<credentials json file> -n kfuse

Configure Kloudfuse to Collect Metrics

1. Update the helm values using the following configuration.

kfuse-cloud-exporter:
     Prometheus-stackdriver-exporter:
       enabled: true
       stackdriver:
         httpTimeout: 30s
         maxRetries: 3
         ## gcp project id
         projectId: "YOUR PROJECT ID"
         ## create this secret with access credentials to gcp account
         serviceAccountSecret: kfuse-sd-secret
         metrics:
           typePrefixes: "compute.googleapis.com"

2. Update the corresponding projectId of the GCP account and update the typePrefixes to collect the metrics from relevant services of GCP; see Google Cloud documentation on Google Cloud metrics.
