Deep GCP Observability
GCP Monitoring: Every Log, Zero Agents to Patch
Cloud Logging routes straight into OpenObserve over Pub/Sub. Nothing to install, nothing to patch.
Google Cloud~5 min
Stream Google Cloud logs in with a Pub/Sub push subscription - no agent or collector to run.
1 Route Logs to a Pub/Sub Topic
BASH
gcloud pubsub topics create openobserve-logsgcloud logging sinks create openobserve-sink \ pubsub.googleapis.com/projects/$PROJECT \ --log-filter='severity >= "DEFAULT"'
Grant the sink's writer identity the Pub/Sub Publisher role, or it publishes nothing.
2 Push to OpenObserve
Create a push subscription and paste this as the endpoint URL. It already carries this org and its ingestion key.
ENDPOINT
https://api.openobserve.ai/gcp/<org-id> /default/_sub?API-Key=••••••••••••
No agent. No collector. No VM to size.
01
A Log Router sink and a push subscription. Nothing runs in your projects.
Native GCP integrations
Connect your Google Cloud estate in minutes. OpenObserve ingests directly from the services you already run - no agents, no custom glue code.
Full-Stack GCP Visibility
Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Cloud SQL in one platform.
Telemetry Cost Optimization
Cut GCP storage costs with columnar compression and configurable retention.
Agentless Integration
Export through Cloud Logging to Pub/Sub or the OpenTelemetry Collector, no agent to run or patch.
Why Use OpenObserve for GCP Monitoring?
Data Collection and Analysis
Cloud Logging Integration
Get GCP logs without deploying an agent. Cloud Logging exports audit logs, VPC flow logs, and application logs to Pub/Sub through one pipeline.
Metric Collection
Monitor GCP and custom application metrics without separate tooling. Cloud Monitoring export covers both out of the box.
Service Monitoring
Core Services
Start monitoring Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Cloud SQL with dashboards and alerts already built in.
Infrastructure Insights
Catch resource and service health problems in real time instead of after the fact, across your whole GCP environment.
Log Processing
Structured Analysis
Skip writing custom parsers for GCP log formats. Built-in processors handle standard and custom log structures automatically.
SQL Analytics
Analyze logs and metrics without learning a new query language. Standard SQL handles aggregations and time-series analysis.
Resource Management
Performance Tracking
Plan capacity with confidence instead of guessing. Detailed compute metrics show exactly where usage is headed.
Storage Optimization
Control GCP telemetry costs without losing access to the data you need. Configure retention and compression to fit your budget.
Benchmarks
Measured against industry leaders
Same telemetry, same workloads, one platform. Every number is OpenObserve against a named vendor - not an industry average.
vs. Datadog
8×
more cost-effective
8x cost reduction means you can unify your observability into a single platform.
vs. Elastic
140×
storage efficiency
140x storage means longer retention doesn't necessarily mean expensive bills.
vs. Grafana stack
5–15×
faster performance
5x to 15x faster queries mean dashboards load in milliseconds, not minutes.
