In a recent blog post, Google announced the general availability of Monitoring Query Language (MQL) in Cloud Monitoring.
MQL provides developers and operators with powerful metric querying, analysis, charting, and alerting capabilities. They can use the language for use cases such as troubleshooting purposes, root cause analysis, reporting and analytics, and complex alert logic.
Google built MQL using operations and functions. Using the ‘pipe’ idiom, operations are connected together, where one operation’s output becomes the input to the next – and by linking, users can build up complex queries incrementally.
