stackdriver-agent | Stackdrivers Agent in a Docker Container | Continuous Deployment library

I've added the JVM Monitoring plugin as described here

That's all working great and I can, but now I'd like to add more JMX metrics. e.g. MemoryPool specific counters So I've added this config to /opt/stackdriver/collectd/etc/collectd.d/jvm-sun-hotspot.conf

I am currently working on a ETL Dataflow job (using the Apache Beam Python SDK) which queries data from CloudSQL (with psycopg2 and a custom ParDo) and writes it to BigQuery. My goal is to create a Dataflow template which I can start from a AppEngine using a Cron job.

I have a version which works locally using the DirectRunner. For that I use the CloudSQL (Postgres) proxy client so that I can connect to the database on 127.0.0.1 .

When using the DataflowRunner with custom commands to start the proxy within a setup.py script, the job won't execute. It stucks with repeating this log-message:

Setting node annotation to enable volume controller attach/detach

A part of my setup.py looks the following:

My GCP project vm installed below agents: google_osconfig_agent /opt/stackdriver/collectd/sbin/stackdriver-collectd. Can i use the stackdriver-agent to get some data? eg. run some commands to get all instances storage, uptime etc.

I set up a VM on Google Compute Engine through the marketplace I chose the VM (Tomcat Tomcat (Google Click to Deploy) - Open source Java Servlet container)

With the following data:

Operational system Debian 9.11 Package Contents Apache 2.4.25 Google-Fluentd 1.6.17 OpenJDK 1.8.0 Stackdriver-Agent 5.5.2 Tomcat 8.5.14.0

I would like to know where is the tomcat (webapps) folder where I can send my application .WAR file.

I have a Docker container that performs a single large computation. This computation requires lots of memory and takes about 12 hours to run.

I can create a Google Compute Engine VM of the appropriate size and use the "Deploy a container image to this VM instance" option to run this job perfectly. However once the job is finished the container quits but the VM is still running (and charging).

How can I make the VM exit/stop/delete when the container exits?

When the VM is in its zombie mode only the stackdriver containers are left running:

As you can see I have the following images

I am running the Wordpress multisite click to deploy on the compute engine.

Is it possible to setup an alert based on the status of a custom service. For example, stackdriver-agent service crashed at one point. When running 'service stackdriver-agent status" I receive an 'Active: inactive (dead)' response.

Is it possible to setup an alert based on the condition above? The stackdriver-agent service is just an example. In theory, I would like to setup this alert condition on any service.

I'm configuring Stackdriver-agent in GCE VM to monitor Cassandra metrics. (based on GCP guide: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/agent/plugins/cassandra)

I used the default setting of the link above, and they work fine. However, one metric I added doesn't work with the following error.

I tried gauge or counter for Type and Value or Count for Attribute. However, either of them doesn't work well.

Any suggestion, please.
