Google Cloud SQL monitoring

Question

I am wondering what are the current/existing possibilities of monitoring mysql instances on Google Cloud SQL? What I need is:

• define alerts and trigger actions (send via http) for set of mysql metrics
• retrive metrics via http

There is not much I see in Google Cloud SQL dashboard for my mysql instance. When I go to Monitoring -> Dashboard & alerts I see that it is disabled due to Stackdriver migration. Am I doing something wrong here or what I want/looking for is not possible at the moment?

Answer 1

Although the dashboard & alerts are not yet available, there is an API to access monitoring statistics: Cloud Monitoring . You would need to build your own alerting/trigger system on top of this at the moment.
