Start with whichever area fits, or click Next to go through the journey in order.

  • Cloud metrics: Numeric measurements from your cloud resources, such as CPU, memory, and request counts. A good place to start, since metrics are quick to set up and drive dashboards and alerts.
  • Cloud logs: Event records such as errors, audit trails, and access logs, for troubleshooting and investigation.
  • Query with data sources: Query your cloud data where it lives instead of storing it, when you’d rather avoid the extra ingestion and storage cost or only need occasional access.

To query your data in place instead, head to the data sources section. Or click Next to go through everything in order.
