Google Cloud

These methods read what LevelFour knows about your Google Cloud estate beyond the bill: resources, utilization, budgets and access. Cost, recommendations and savings for Google Cloud use the same methods as every other provider, with gcp as the provider ID; Costs covers the credits basis they take. Any key can call these reads. The examples show the Go SDK and plain HTTP.

Methods

Get data availability

Returns, for each Google Cloud dataset LevelFour reads, whether it holds data for your organization. The dashboard's Google Cloud board shows a card only when the dataset behind it holds data, so this is the same answer the board uses.

availability, err := client.GoogleCloud.GetDataAvailability(ctx)

Get inventory breakdown

Counts your Google Cloud resources, grouped by type (default), region or project.

byRegion, err := client.GoogleCloud.GetInventoryBreakdown(ctx,
    &levelfour.GetInventoryBreakdownAPIV1ProvidersGcpInventoryBreakdownGetRequest{
        By: levelfour.GetInventoryBreakdownAPIV1ProvidersGcpInventoryBreakdownGetRequestBy("region").Ptr(),
    },
)

Get waste signals

Returns resources that bill while doing nothing: stopped VMs whose disks still bill, unattached disks, reserved addresses nothing uses, and snapshots older than 90 days.

waste, err := client.GoogleCloud.GetWasteSignals(ctx)

Get label hygiene

Returns how many resources carry each label key, and how many carry none. Pass keys to measure the keys your allocation depends on. System labels, the ones starting goog-, never count as labeled.

hygiene, err := client.GoogleCloud.GetLabelHygiene(ctx,
    &levelfour.GetLabelHygieneAPIV1ProvidersGcpInventoryLabelHygieneGetRequest{
        Keys: []string{"team", "env"},
    },
)

Get utilization

Three reads cover utilization from Cloud Monitoring. The summary puts VMs, Cloud SQL instances and GKE workloads into utilization bands over the last 30 days. The series is one resource's daily values. Coverage says which projects and metrics Cloud Monitoring answered for, so a missing band reads as missing data rather than as idle.

summary, err := client.GoogleCloud.GetUtilizationSummary(ctx)

series, err := client.GoogleCloud.GetUtilizationSeries(ctx,
    &levelfour.GetUtilizationSeriesAPIV1ProvidersGcpUtilizationSeriesGetRequest{
        ResourceID: "projects/acme-prod/zones/us-central1-a/instances/web-1",
        Metric:     levelfour.String("memory_utilization"),
        Days:       levelfour.Int(90),
    },
)

coverage, err := client.GoogleCloud.GetUtilizationCoverage(ctx)

Get budgets

Returns your Cloud Billing budgets, each with the spend LevelFour reads from the billing export against it. A budget whose scope the export cannot reproduce exactly is marked approximate. Reading budgets needs the optional roles/billing.viewer grant from the billing connect command.

budgets, err := client.GoogleCloud.GetBudgets(ctx)

Get access

Returns what LevelFour's service account can read in Google Cloud, checked against Google's own permission test, beside what the connect command reported it applied. Use it when a read comes back empty to see whether a grant is missing.

access, err := client.GoogleCloud.GetAccess(ctx)
