GCP Status Exporter
An exporter to get metrics for availability status of GCP services and observe the incident impacts in GCP environments.
Note: This is a work in progress. Contributions are welcome.
Approach
- GCP incidents older than 30 days are discarded to keep the metrics relevant.
- GCP service status is collected from Google Cloud Status Dashboard's incident history
Components
- Opentelemetry library is used for creating metrics.
- logrus for structured logging.
- cobra for creating a CLI application.
