This page shows how to get started with the Cloud Client Libraries for the Cloud Monitoring API. Client libraries make it easier to access Google Cloud APIs from a supported language. Although you can use Google Cloud APIs directly by making raw requests to the server, client libraries provide simplifications that significantly reduce the amount of code you need to write.

Read more about the Cloud Client Libraries and the older Google API Client Libraries in Client libraries explained.

The samples on this page use custom, or user-defined, metrics to illustrate the use of the client libraries. The system-defined metrics described in the

Metrics list

are collected for you. You don't need to write any code to collect them, although the agent metrics do require the installation of the Cloud Monitoring agent. For more information on agent metrics, see the

Agent metrics list

.

For information about the previous Monitoring API client libraries, see Monitoring API Client Libraries.

Install the client library C++

See Setting up a C++ development environment for details about this client library's requirements and install dependencies.

C#

In Visual Studio 2013/2015, open the Package Manager Console and run this command:

Install-Package Google.Cloud.Monitoring.V3 -Pre

For more information, see Setting Up a C# Development Environment.

Go
go get cloud.google.com/go/monitoring/apiv3

For more information, see Setting Up a Go Development Environment.

Java

If you are using Maven with a BOM, add the following to your pom.xml file:

If you are using Maven without a BOM, add this to your dependencies:

If you are using Gradle, add the following to your dependencies:

If you are using sbt, add the following to your dependencies:

If you're using Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ, or Eclipse, you can add client libraries to your project using the following IDE plugins:

The plugins provide additional functionality, such as key management for service accounts. Refer to each plugin's documentation for details.

Note: Cloud Java client libraries do not currently support Android.

For more information, see Setting Up a Java Development Environment.

Node.js
npm install @google-cloud/monitoring

For more information, see Setting Up a Node.js Development Environment.

PHP
composer require google/cloud-monitoring
Note: The Monitoring API Client Library requires you install and enable the gRPC Extension for PHP.

For more information, see Using PHP on Google Cloud.

Python
pip install --upgrade google-cloud-monitoring

For more information, see Setting Up a Python Development Environment.

Ruby
gem install google-cloud-monitoring

For more information, see Setting Up a Ruby Development Environment.

Set up authentication

To authenticate calls to Google Cloud APIs, client libraries support

Application Default Credentials (ADC)

; the libraries look for credentials in a set of defined locations and use those credentials to authenticate requests to the API. With ADC, you can make credentials available to your application in a variety of environments, such as local development or production, without needing to modify your application code.

For production environments, the way you set up ADC depends on the service and context. For more information, see Set up Application Default Credentials.

For a local development environment, you can set up ADC with the credentials that are associated with your Google Account:

  1. Install the Google Cloud CLI. After installation, initialize the Google Cloud CLI by running the following command:

    gcloud init

    If you're using an external identity provider (IdP), you must first sign in to the gcloud CLI with your federated identity.

  2. If you're using a local shell, then create local authentication credentials for your user account:

    gcloud auth application-default login

    You don't need to do this if you're using Cloud Shell.

    If an authentication error is returned, and you are using an external identity provider (IdP), confirm that you have signed in to the gcloud CLI with your federated identity.

    A sign-in screen appears. After you sign in, your credentials are stored in the local credential file used by ADC.

Use the client library

The following example shows how to use the client library.
