You can use Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging with Service Directory.
Monitor
Monitoring lets you create dashboards or set up
alerts. You can access it by visiting
Monitoring
in Google Cloud console. To view basic monitoring metrics (request
count, size, and latency), go to the Metrics Explorer and filter by
resource_type:consumed_api and service:servicedirectory.googleapis.com.
View logs
Service Directory produces audit logs that you can view through Logging.
Audit logs
Audit logs can help you answer the questions "Who did what, where, and when?". Service Directory writes two types of audit logs: admin activity and data access. Admin activity logs are always enabled and apply to the following Service Directory operations:
- CreateNamespace
- UpdateNamespace
- DeleteNamespace
- SetIamPolicy
All other Service Directory operations are considered data access logs and are not enabled by default. Data access logs are also subject to Logging pricing and quota, whereas neither applies to admin activity logs. To enable data access logging, see Configuring Data Access logs.
To see these logs in
Logging,
select Service Directory Namespace from the Resource drop-down menu and
cloudaudit.googleapis.com/activity or cloudaudit.googleapis.com/data_access,
as appropriate, from the Logs drop-down.
