Managing Cloud Resources Using Google Stackdriver

Stackdriver Monitoring, a powerful cloud monitoring tool, is seamlessly integrated with almost every service on Google Cloud Platform. Stackdriver Monitoring can make your architecture more efficient, improve its design, and simplify troubleshooting. This course, Managing Cloud Resource Using Google Stackdriver will teach you how to monitor and track your cloud resources, respond to alerts and provide support via Stackdriver Monitoring. You will first learn about Stackdriver concepts like metrics, monitored resources and workspaces. We will also learn how to install the Stackdriver Monitoring Agent and when it is required. Next, we will show you how to monitor third party applications and create custom metrics. The Metrics Explorer will be used to create metrics and resources that can be monitored. We'll then create dashboards to track these metrics. To notify you of problems with resource health, you can also set up alerts and uptime checks. Stackdriver supports HTTP, HTTPS and TCP uptime checks. These probes are controlled by VPC firewall rules. They must also be correctly set up. You will also learn how to set alert variables, create checks for missing metrics, analyze incidents and events, and integrate third-party tools. You will be integrating Stackdriver Monitoring and OpsGenie which is an incident management and alerting platform. The course will be completed by programming with the Stackdriver monitoring API within Datalab python notebooks. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills required to monitor, troubleshoot and analyze your cloud resources.
