Installation

pip install opentelemetry-exporter-gcp-monitoring

Usage

import time

from opentelemetry import metrics
from opentelemetry.exporter.cloud_monitoring import (
    CloudMonitoringMetricsExporter,
)
from opentelemetry.sdk.metrics import MeterProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.metrics.export import PeriodicExportingMetricReader
from opentelemetry.sdk.resources import Resource

metrics.set_meter_provider(
    MeterProvider(
        metric_readers=[
            PeriodicExportingMetricReader(
                CloudMonitoringMetricsExporter(), export_interval_millis=5000
            )
        ],
        resource=Resource.create(
            {
                "service.name": "basic_metrics",
                "service.namespace": "examples",
                "service.instance.id": "instance123",
            }
        ),
    )
)
meter = metrics.get_meter(__name__)

# Creates metric workload.googleapis.com/request_counter with monitored resource generic_task
requests_counter = meter.create_counter(
    name="request_counter",
    description="number of requests",
    unit="1",
)

staging_labels = {"environment": "staging"}

for i in range(20):
    requests_counter.add(25, staging_labels)
    time.sleep(5)
