New Relic's integrations with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) include an integration to report Google Cloud Spanner data to New Relic. This document explains how to activate the GCP Cloud Spanner integration and describes the data that can be reported.
Features
Google Cloud Spanner service is a globally-distributed relational database service built for the cloud. Using the Google Spanner Console, developers can create a Cloud Spanner instance, add schemas, write and modify data, and run queries.
Activate integration
To enable the integration follow standard procedures to connect your GCP service to New Relic.
Polling frequency
New Relic integrations query your GCP services according to a polling interval, which varies depending on the integration. The polling frequency for Google Cloud Spanner is five minutes. The resolution is 1 data point every minute.
Find and use data
After activating the integration and waiting a few minutes (based on the polling frequency), data will appear in the New Relic UI. To find and use your data, including links to your and alert settings, go to one.newrelic.com > Infrastructure > GCP > (select an integration).
Metric data
To view metric data for your GCP Spanner integration in New Relic, create NRQL queries for GcpSpannerInstanceSample
and GcpSpannerDatabaseSample
events and their related attributes.
GcpSpannerInstanceSample
Query GcpSpannerInstanceSample
events in New Relic to view data for the following attributes:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
| Utilization of the provisioned CPU, between 0 and 1. |
| Utilization of the provisioned CPU by priority, between 0 and 1. |
| 24-hour smoothed utilization of the provisioned CPU , between 0 and 1. |
| Total number of nodes. |
| Number of sessions in use. |
| Storage used in bytes. |
GcpSpannerDatabaseSample
Query GcpSpannerDatabaseSample
events in New Relic to view data for the following attributes:
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
| Uncompressed request bytes received by Cloud Spanner. |
| Rate of Cloud Spanner API requests. |
| Distribution of server request latencies for a database. This includes latency of request processing in Cloud Spanner backends and API layer. It does not include network or reverse-proxy overhead between clients and servers. |
| Uncompressed response bytes sent by Cloud Spanner. |
