Google Cloud PubSub and Nebius Cloud Monitoring Integration

Input and output integration overview

This plugin ingests metrics from Google Cloud PubSub, allowing for real-time data processing and integration into monitoring setups.

This plugin allows users to effortlessly send aggregated metrics to Nebius Cloud Monitoring, leveraging the cloud’s monitoring solutions.

Integration details

Google Cloud PubSub

The Google Cloud PubSub input plugin is designed to ingest metrics from Google Cloud PubSub, a messaging service that facilitates real-time communication between different systems. It allows users to create and process metrics by pulling messages from a specified subscription in a Google Cloud Project. One of the critical features of this plugin is its ability to operate as a service input, actively listening for incoming messages rather than merely polling for metrics at set intervals. Through various configuration options, users can customize the behavior of message ingestion, such as handling credentials, managing message sizes, and tuning the acknowledgment settings to ensure that messages are only acknowledged after successful processing. By leveraging the strengths of Google PubSub, this plugin integrates seamlessly with cloud-native architectures, enabling users to build robust and scalable applications that can react to events in real-time.

Nebius Cloud Monitoring

The Nebius Cloud Monitoring plugin serves as an intermediary to send custom metrics to the Nebius Cloud Monitoring service. It is designed specifically to facilitate the monitoring of applications and services running within the Nebius ecosystem. This plugin is especially useful for users of the Nebius Cloud Platform who need to leverage cloud-based monitoring capabilities without significant configuration overhead. The plugin’s integration relies on Google Cloud metadata, allowing it to automatically fetch the necessary authentication credentials from the Compute instance it operates within. Key technical considerations include the management of reserved labels to ensure metrics are recorded correctly without conflicts.

Configuration

Google Cloud PubSub

[[inputs.cloud_pubsub]]
  project = "my-project"
  subscription = "my-subscription"
  data_format = "influx"
  # credentials_file = "path/to/my/creds.json"
  # retry_delay_seconds = 5
  # max_message_len = 1000000
  # max_undelivered_messages = 1000
  # max_extension = 0
  # max_outstanding_messages = 0
  # max_outstanding_bytes = 0
  # max_receiver_go_routines = 0
  # base64_data = false
  # content_encoding = "identity"
  # max_decompression_size = "500MB"

Nebius Cloud Monitoring

[[outputs.nebius_cloud_monitoring]]
  ## Timeout for HTTP writes.
  # timeout = "20s"

  ## Nebius.Cloud monitoring API endpoint. Normally should not be changed
  # endpoint = "https://monitoring.api.il.nebius.cloud/monitoring/v2/data/write"

Input and output integration examples

Google Cloud PubSub

1. Real-Time Analytics for IoT Devices: Utilize the Google Cloud PubSub plugin to aggregate metrics from IoT devices scattered across various locations. By streaming data from devices to Google PubSub and using this plugin to ingest metrics, organizations can create a centralized dashboard for real-time monitoring and alerting. This setup allows for immediate insights into device performance, facilitating proactive maintenance and operational efficiency.

2. Dynamic Log Processing and Monitoring: Ingest logs from numerous sources via Google Cloud PubSub into a Telegraf pipeline, utilizing the plugin to parse and analyze log messages. This can help teams quickly identify anomalies or patterns in logs and streamline the process of troubleshooting issues across distributed systems. By consolidating log data, organizations can enhance their observability and response capabilities.

3. Event-Driven Workflow Integrations: Use the Google Cloud PubSub plugin to connect various cloud functions or services. Each time a new message is pushed to a subscription, actions can be triggered in other parts of the cloud architecture, such as starting data processing jobs, notifications, or even updates to reports. This event-driven approach allows for a more reactive system architecture that can adapt to changing business needs.

Nebius Cloud Monitoring

1. Dynamic Application Monitoring: Integrate this plugin with your application to continuously send metrics related to resource usage, such as CPU and memory utilization, to Nebius Cloud Monitoring. By doing so, you can gain insights into the performance of your application, allowing for adjustments in real-time based on the metrics received.

2. Incident Response Automation: Use the Nebius Cloud Monitoring plugin to automatically send alerts and metrics when certain thresholds are reached. For instance, if a particular service’s uptime drops below a certain percentage, the plugin can be configured to report this directly to the monitoring service, enabling quicker incident response and resolution.

3. Comparative Service Analysis: Set up the plugin to send metrics from multiple cloud instances running different versions of the same application to Nebius Cloud Monitoring. This approach allows for a comparative analysis of resource usage and performance, helping teams determine which version performs best under similar workloads.

4. Aggregated Metrics Dashboard: Use this plugin to create a centralized dashboard displaying metrics from various services across your cloud instances. By aggregating different application metrics into one interface, stakeholders can assess the overall health and performance of their cloud environment easily.
