Cloud Monitoring
With the Monitoring service, you can discover and monitor all GCP resources and services. The Monitoring console allows you to view all of your resources, create alerting policies, and view uptime checks, groups, and custom dashboards. It also allows you to navigate to the debug, trace, logging, and error reporting consoles.

- Groups
- Dashboards
- Alerting policies
- Change screen
- Uptime checks
- Monitoring agents

The groups can be nested in one another, and the nesting can be six levels deep:
