Application Monitoring using Google Cloud Observability lets you view
the telemetry data for your App Hub applications. This telemetry is
displayed on out-of-the-box (OOTB) dashboards. You can use this telemetry to
diagnose issues and to understand how the resources that your applications use
are performing. Using the OOTB dashboards, you can explore log, metric, and
incident information about your App Hub applications and its registered
services and workloads.
Application Monitoring provides out-of-the-box (OOTB) dashboards to monitor
logs, metrics, and incidents for App Hub applications and its registered
services and workloads. For more information, see
Application Monitoring. To view
these dashboards, do the following:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the App Hub Applications
page.
To view the top-level OOTB dashboard that lists summary information for a
list of applications registered to your host project or
app-enabled folder, click View in Observability.
To view the OOTB dashboard for an application, follow these steps:
Click the application name.
Click View Observability dashboard.
To view the OOTB dashboard for a specific service or workload, follow
these steps:
Click the application name.
On the row that displays the service or workload name, click
View Observability dashboard.
In the Google Cloud console, configure the observability scope for your project to
determine how explorer and OOTB dashboard pages search for data to display.
Default log scope: Lists the projects and log views for the application's
log data when the Logs Explorer page opens.
Metrics scope: Lists the projects whose metric data can be read by the
management project or the host project. For example, charts on your
OOTB dashboard display metric data about your application, service, or
workload.
Default trace scope: Lists the projects whose trace data can be read by the
Trace Explorer page. For App Hub, configure the default
trace scope to list all projects which store your application's trace data.
For more information about how to set up the observability scope,
see
Set up Application Monitoring.
For more information about how to view the log, metric, and trace data for your
applications, see
View application telemetry.
App Hub metric types
App Hub sends metric data from monitored resources
—application, service, and workload— to Google Cloud Observability. The
monitored-resources types generate a unique set of metric data that can be
explored, reported through a dashboard, or used to create alerts.
For more information about App Hub metric types, see
Google Cloud metrics. To create and
view alerting policies about applications, services, and workloads on the OOTB
dashboards, use App Hub labels. These labels are attached to the
log, metric, and trace data generated by an application and its registered
services and workloads to help identify the App Hub resources.
For more information, see
App Hub labels.
