K8s-config-connector: Logging and Monitoring resources

[gobins]

KCC does not support any logging or monitoring related resources at the moment for GCP.
https://cloud.google.com/config-connector/docs/reference/resources

We would like to see some basic resources like log metric and alerting policies which can be created using KCC.

[jcanseco]

Hi @gobins, when you say "log metric" and "alerting policies", am I correct to understand that you're requesting support for the following GCP resources?

• projects.metrics (implemented in Terraform as google_logging_metric)
• projects.alertPolicies (implemented in Terraform as google_monitoring_alert_policy)

[gobins]

Yes that is correct. Those are some examples, we would like to use Stackdriver for logging and monitoring. And would like to drive the creation of those resources through KCC.

[jcanseco]

Gotcha.

Those are some examples

Does this mean there are logging/monitoring-related resources you'd like to see supported other than the two I listed? If so, would you happen to know which ones?

[jcanseco]

For reference, you can find the list of REST resources corresponding to logging/monitoring-related GCP resources here and Terraform implementations of some (or likely all) of these resources here (on the left navigation bar, click "Filter" and enter "Stackdriver")

[jcanseco]

Hi @gobins, I'd just like to follow up on this. Would support for the two resources I mentioned above (google_logging_metric and google_monitoring_alert_policy) be sufficient for you, or are there other resources you'd like supported as well?

Also can you shed some light on how urgent this request is for you?

[gobins]

Yes those two resource would be sufficient for now. At this point the request is not urgent.

[jcanseco]

Great, thanks for clarifying!

[jcanseco]

Hi @gobins, we've just added support for the MonitoringAlertPolicy resource in KCC v1.30.0.

Will update this thread once we have support for LoggingMetric.

@jcanseco What about support for monitoring dashboards? https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/management-tools/cloud-monitoring-dashboards-using-an-api

[jcanseco]

Hey @tonybenchsci, yep monitoring dashboards is also in our backlog. We're currently targeting late Q1 to early Q2 for it.

[mathieu-benoit]

Indeed, having the equivalent of google_monitoring_dashboard with Terraform would be really great.

Just curious @jcanseco, are google_monitoring_custom_service and google_monitoring_slo planned too?

It would be very useful to set Monitoring dashboard, SLI and SLO via Config Connector while deploying my app/container in Kubernetes.

[tonybenchsci]

@jcanseco Thanks, just checking in on logging resource support. I see that we can now use LoggingSinks (great!), we do have a pretty strong need for logging Metrics though; currently relying on manual Deployment Manager for LoggingMetrics

[xiaobaitusi]

Hi @tonybenchsci and @mathieu-benoit, those resources are in your backlog, we will let you know when you have more information.

[irvifa]

Will this also provided the access for Strackdriver metrics in KCC as well?

[jcanseco]

Hey @irvifa, could you please clarify what you mean? If you're looking for something like google_logging_metric, then yes, that is currently on our backlog.

[irvifa]

@jcanseco yes I am, I’m also would like to know if it’s possible to use this requested feature to create alerting in stackdriver as well

[jcanseco]

Great, thanks for confirming.

On the second point, we do support a MonitoringAlertPolicy resource today. Can you please see if that's the one you're looking for?

[irvifa]

@jcanseco great, I'll try to use it and find if it fits my need 👍
