Selecting a Resource Group in a Query

Limit returned metric data by matching a resource group when querying custom metric data in Monitoring.

Resource groups are available with custom metrics. Blank (null) for resource group returns metric data that doesn't have a resource group.

For troubleshooting, see Troubleshooting Queries.

This section describes how to select the resource group for a new query on the Metrics Explorer page. For alarm query edits, see Creating a Basic Alarm.
