GCP Filestore

Overview

The GCP Filestore integration with ObserveOps (formerly known as AIOps) collects operational telemetry from Google Cloud Filestore instances. It monitors instance state, storage utilization, disk read and write throughput and latency, metadata operations, and procedure call metrics.

These metrics help administrators track file system performance, monitor storage capacity, identify I/O bottlenecks, and maintain operational visibility across Filestore instances.

Prerequisites

  • The GCP project has Filestore instances running.
  • The service account used for integration has the Cloud Filestore Viewer and Monitoring Viewer roles.
  • Required GCP API endpoints are reachable from ObserveOps.
  • The GCP project is added in discovery with correct credentials and region configuration.
