GCP Bigtable Cluster metrics

Google Cloud Bigtable is a fully managed, high-performance NoSQL database designed for large-scale analytical and operational workloads. Bigtable clusters provide scalable, low-latency storage and compute resources, ensuring efficient access and processing of structured and semi-structured data. Ensure your cloud platform is configured in SolarWinds Observability SaaS to collect this service's data. See Add a GCP cloud account.

Many of the collected metrics from Bigtable Cluster entities are displayed as widgets in SolarWinds Observability explorers; additional metrics may be collected and available in the Metrics Explorer. You can also create an alert for when an entity's metric value moves out of a specific range. See Entities in SolarWinds Observability SaaS for information about entity types in SolarWinds Observability SaaS.

The following table lists some of the metrics collected for these entities. To see the Bigtable Cluster metrics in the Metrics Explorer, type gcp.bigtable.googleapis.com in the search box.

Metric Units Description
sw.metrics.healthscore Percent (%)

Health state. The health state provides real-time insight into the overall health and performance of your monitored entities. The health state is determined based on anomalies detected for the entity, alerts triggered for the entity's metrics, and the status of the entity. The health state is displayed as one of the following four states and colors: Good, Moderate, Bad, or Unknown. You can determine the impact of the alerts, anomalies, and statuses on the health of an entity type by going to Settings > Health, and selecting a specific entity type. You can also customize the impact.

To view the health of Bigtable Cluster entities in the Metrics Explorer, filter the sw.metrics.healthscore metric by entity_types and select bigtable.
