Google AI Platform Metrics via Telegraf

The Google AI Platform serves as a specialized collection of services within Google Cloud, specifically designed for the construction, deployment and administration of machine learning models in a cloud-based environment.

• Begin by heading over to the 'Project Selector' and select the specific project from which you wish to send metrics.
• Progress to the 'Service Account Details' screen. Here, assign a distinct name to your service account and opt for 'Create and Continue'.
• In the 'Grant This Service Account Access to Project' screen, ensure the following roles: 'Compute Viewer', 'Monitoring Viewer', and 'Cloud Asset Viewer'.
• Upon completion of the above, click 'Done'.
• Now find and select your project in the 'Service Accounts for Project' list.
• Move to the 'KEYS' section.
• Navigate through Keys > Add Key > Create New Key, and specify 'JSON' as the key type.
• Lastly, click on 'Create', and make sure to save your new key.

Now add the environment variable for the key

On the machine run:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=<your-gcp-key>

This integration allows you to configure a Telegraf agent to send your metrics, in multiple formats, to Logit.io.

Telegraf is a flexible server agent equipped with plug-in support, useful for sending metrics and events from data sources like web servers, APIs, application logs, and cloud services.

To ship your metrics to Logit.io, we will integrate the relevant input and outputs.http plug-in into your Telegraf configuration file.

First you need to set up the input plug-in to enable Telegraf to scrape the GCP data from your hosts. This can be accomplished by incorporating the following code into your configuration file:

# Gather timeseries from Google Cloud Platform v3 monitoring API
[[inputs.stackdriver]]
  ## GCP Project
  project = "<your-project-name>"

  ## Include timeseries that start with the given metric type.
  metric_type_prefix_include = [
    "ml.googleapis.com",
  ]

  ## Most metrics are updated no more than once per minute; it is recommended
  ## to override the agent level interval with a value of 1m or greater.
  interval = "1m"

Once you have generated the configuration file, you need to set up the output plug-in to allow Telegraf to transmit your data to Logit.io in Prometheus format. This can be accomplished by incorporating the following code into your configuration file:

[[outputs.http]]
  
  url = "https://<your-metrics-username>:<your-metrics-password>@<your-metrics-stack-id>-vm.logit.io:0/api/v1/write"
  data_format = "prometheusremotewrite"

  [outputs.http.headers]
    Content-Type = "application/x-protobuf"
    Content-Encoding = "snappy"

Windows

telegraf.exe --service start

MacOS

telegraf --config telegraf.conf

Linux

sudo service telegraf start

for systemd installations

systemctl start telegraf

Data should now have been sent to your Stack.
