Joy Wang, Senior Product Manager, and Peizong Guo, Software Engineer at Google discussed the observability dashboard capabilities in a blog post. By integrating features directly into each Google Cloud product, the new dashboard simplifies the observability process, eliminating the need to switch between tools for troubleshooting. The new dashboard offers free features, such as adding or removing charts, incorporating raw logs, modifying chart configurations, and creating alerts.
With Google Cloud’s customizable dashboard, observability engineers can add insights for their specific needs. Engineers can choose relevant metrics and logs from specific instances or clusters to pinpoint the required data. Engineers can create alerts directly from the dashboard or use recommended alerts, then view alert charts in context as well.
