Stack Driver Monitoring Costs


Currently I'm getting charged for $0.5 per day per environment. We have 4 environments and all per day it costs $2

We don't have any traffic at all as we are still in development phase.

When I try to disable Stack Monitoring API, it says it will disable few more api's which isn't expected. Warning for other services

I saw that "google.monitoring.v3.MetricService.ListTimeSeries" has a request count of 1M per month in the metrics and I don't have from where this is getting triggered.

Requests metric

I see stack driver monitoring api costs are per 1000 calls and it can easily push my budgets to the edge.

Is it possible to find out from where this is getting triggered?


Solution

  • Finally found out that the issue is with NewRelic monitoring. I gave access to NewRelic sometime back for all my projects and once I revoke the access, it stopped showing the costs!

    It would be great if there is an option on gcp which resource is consuming and what is triggering it.
