Please migrate to community-maintained OTLP exporters (e.g., `@opentelemetry/exporter-metrics-otlp-http` or `@opentelemetry/exporter-metrics-otlp-grpc`). See the [Migration Guide](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/opentelemetry-operations-js/blob/main/MIGRATION.md) for details. # OpenTelemetry Google Cloud Monitoring Exporter [![NPM Published Version][npm-img]][npm-url] [![Apache License][license-image]][license-image] OpenTelemetry Google Cloud Monitoring Exporter allows the user to send collected metrics to [Google Cloud Monitoring](https://cloud.google.com/monitoring). To get started with instrumentation in Google Cloud, see [Generate traces and metrics with Node.js](https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver/docs/instrumentation/setup/nodejs). To learn more about instrumentation and observability, including opinionated recommendations for Google Cloud Observability, visit [Instrumentation and observability](https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver/docs/instrumentation/overview). ## Installation ```bash npm install --save @opentelemetry/sdk-metrics npm install --save @google-cloud/opentelemetry-cloud-monitoring-exporter ``` ## Usage ```js const { MeterProvider, PeriodicExportingMetricReader } = require("@opentelemetry/sdk-metrics"); const { resourceFromAttributes } = require("@opentelemetry/resources"); const { MetricExporter } = require("@google-cloud/opentelemetry-cloud-monitoring-exporter"); const { GcpDetectorSync } = require("@google-cloud/opentelemetry-resource-util"); // Create MeterProvider const meterProvider = new MeterProvider({ // Create a resource. Fill the `service.*` attributes in with real values for your service. // GcpDetectorSync will add in resource information about the current environment if you are // running on GCP. These resource attributes will be translated to a specific GCP monitored // resource if running on GCP. Otherwise, metrics will be sent with monitored resource // `generic_task`. resource: resourceFromAttributes({ "service.name": "example-metric-service", "service.namespace": "samples", "service.instance.id": "12345", }).merge(new GcpDetectorSync().detect()), }); // Register the exporter meterProvider.addMetricReader( new PeriodicExportingMetricReader({ // Export metrics every 10 seconds. 5 seconds is the smallest sample period allowed by // Cloud Monitoring. exportIntervalMillis: 10_000, exporter: new MetricExporter(), }) ); // Create a meter const meter = meterProvider.getMeter("metrics-sample"); // Create a counter instrument const counter = meter.createCounter("metric_name"); // Record a measurement counter.add(10, { key: "value" }); // Wait for the metric to be exported new Promise((resolve) => { setTimeout(resolve, 11_000); }); ``` ### Enabling Exponential Histograms This exporter can send OpenTelemetry Exponential Histograms to Google Cloud Monitoring. To use this feature, add a metric [View][views] to configure `Histogram` instruments to use the `ExponentialHistogram` aggregation: ```js const { Aggregation, InstrumentType, MeterProvider, View } = require("@opentelemetry/sdk-metrics"); const meterProvider = new MeterProvider({ // ... views: [ // To use ExponentialHistogram aggregation for all Histograms: new View({ aggregation: Aggregation.ExponentialHistogram(), instrumentType: InstrumentType.HISTOGRAM, }), // Or if you'd only like to target a specific instrument: new View({ aggregation: Aggregation.ExponentialHistogram(), instrumentType: InstrumentType.HISTOGRAM, instrumentName: "http.client.duration", }), ], }); ``` For more information on metric Views, see [Configure Metric Views][views]. ## Viewing your metrics: With the above you should now be able to navigate to the Google Cloud Monitoring UI at: ## Useful links - For more information on OpenTelemetry, visit: - For more about OpenTelemetry JavaScript: - Learn more about Google Cloud Monitoring at https://cloud.google.com/monitoring [views]: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/instrumentation/js/manual/#configure-metric-views [license-url]: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/opentelemetry-operations-js/blob/main/LICENSE [npm-url]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@google-cloud/opentelemetry-cloud-monitoring-exporter [npm-img]: https://badge.fury.io/js/%40google-cloud%2Fopentelemetry-cloud-monitoring-exporter.svg [license-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache_2.0-green.svg?style=flat --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/@google-cloud/opentelemetry-cloud-monitoring-exporter · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
