Google App Engine monitoring integration

New Relic Infrastructure offers an integration that fetches data about your Google App Engine services so that you can view the data in the New Relic UI. For more information about monitoring applications that reside in a Google App Engine environment with New Relic APM (instead of how to monitor your Google App Engine services), see Google App Engine environment.

Features of the Google App Engine integration

You can use the Google App Engine integration to view charts and set alerts for your Google App Engine services in New Relic Infrastructure and to create custom queries and charts in New Relic Insights. Google App Engine is a Google Cloud Platform service that abstracts away the underlying infrastructure for your mobile and web applications, allowing you to focus on their development.

• The Google App Engine Standard environment provides a set of preconfigured runtimes and is suitable for applications that require fully-managed, fast scaling.
• The Google App Engine Flexible environment runs applications within Docker containers and is suitable for applications that require configurable, gradual scaling.

Activate integration

To enable the integration follow standard procedures to connect your GCP service to New Relic Infrastructure.

Polling frequency

New Relic Infrastructure queries your Google App Engine services based on a polling interval of 5 minutes. The resolution is 1 data point every minute.

Find and use data

After connecting the Google App Engine integration to New Relic Infrastructure and waiting a few minutes (based on the polling frequency), you can find and use integration data in Infrastructure Integrations and in Insights:

Metric data

To view metric data for your Google App Engine integration in Insights, create NRQL queries for GcpAppEngineServiceSample and GcpCloudTasksQueueSample events and their related attributes.

GcpAppEngineServiceSample

Query GcpAppEngineServiceSample events in Insights to view data for the following attributes:

flex.Cpu.ReservedCores	Total number of CPU cores allocated to an App Engine flexible environment version.
flex.Cpu.Utilization	The fraction of allocated CPU in use across an App Engine flexible environment version.
flex.Disk.ReadBytes	Delta count of bytes read from disk across an App Engine flexible environment version.
flex.Disk.WriteBytes	Delta count of bytes written from disk across an App Engine flexible environment version.
flex.Disk.ReceivedBytes	Delta count of incoming network bytes across all VMs in an App Engine flexible environment version.
flex.Disk.SentBytes	Delta count of outgoing network bytes across all VMs in an App Engine flexible environment version.
server.DosIntercepts	Delta count of interceptions performed to prevent DoS attacks.

Inventory data

To view inventory data for Google App Engine services, go to infrastructure.newrelic.com > Inventory and search for or select the following:

gcp/appengine/service

Inventory data	Description
name	The identifier of the service or application, which is a concatenation of the serviceId and the version attributes, separated by a '.' character.
serviceId	The name of the service or application.
version	The deployment version of the service or application.

gcp/cloudtasks/queue

Inventory data	Description
name	The name of the queue.
targetType	The target type the queue is dispatching to.
