  •  

  • Download the service account key (JSON file) to securely authenticate API requests.
  •  

 

Configure Google Cloud Monitoring

 

  • In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to Operations > Monitoring and create a new Workspace if necessary.
  •  

  • Configure the monitoring dashboard to track metrics from the Google Cloud AI services you are using. This can include API call counts, processing times, error rates, and other relevant metrics.
  •  

  • Ensure the metrics you choose to monitor are available for export and that you have the necessary permissions to access them.
  •  

 

Integrate Google Cloud Monitoring with Datadog

 

  • In the Datadog dashboard, navigate to the Integrations section and search for "Google Cloud Platform."
  •  

  • Install the Google Cloud Platform integration, which allows Datadog to collect and display metrics from your Google Cloud environment.
  •  

  • Configure the Google Cloud Platform integration by providing the necessary project ID, credentials (service account key JSON), and scopes you wish to monitor. Make sure to choose relevant services like Cloud AI and Monitoring.
  •  

  • Ensure permissions are correctly set for the Datadog service account access to read Google Cloud Monitoring metrics.
  •  

 

Verify the Integration and Create Datadog Dashboards

 

  • Once the integration is complete, navigate to your Datadog dashboard and choose the Google Cloud Platform integration from the list of available data sources.
  •  

  • Create custom dashboards and widgets in Datadog to display insights about the usage of Google Cloud AI services. Consider tracking error rates, latency, and other critical service metrics.
  •  

  • Set up alerts and notifications in Datadog to immediately notify you of any anomalies or issues, such as increased error rates or reduced performance.
  •  

 

Automate and Enhance the Workflow

 

  • Consider using Google Cloud Functions or Cloud Pub/Sub to automate data collection from Google Cloud AI services and send it directly to Datadog through custom scripts or middleware.
  •  

  • Explore Datadog's API to create custom metrics or logs directly from your application logic, providing richer context for AI service usage.
  •  

 

# Sample Python Script to Send Custom Metrics to Datadog
from datadog import initialize, api

options = {
    'api_key': 'YOUR_DATADOG_API_KEY',
    'app_key': 'YOUR_DATADOG_APP_KEY'
}

initialize(**options)

# Send custom metric
api.Metric.send(
    metric='gcp.ai.custom_metric',
    points=100,
    tags=["source:gcp", "service:ai"]
)

 

Security Considerations

 

  • Regularly rotate service account keys and adhere to the principle of least privilege when granting roles and permissions.
  •  

  • Encrypt sensitive data in transit and at rest, ensuring the service account keys and credentials are stored securely.
  •  

  • Monitor and audit both Google Cloud and Datadog dashboards for unauthorized access attempts or suspicious activity.
