You have 45 days left in your Stackdriver Premium

If we go premium, how do we choose which instances are to be monitored. Is that even possible? I don't want to pay 8$ per month for the instances that don't require monitoring.

All I have found is this article:

To have the Stackdriver service ignore a specific instance, add a tag named "stackdriver_monitor" with a value of "false".

but this is for EC2 instances. I'm using GCE platform.

currently for GCE you'd have to use a different project and a different Stackdriver account for resources that you do not want to pay for in the premium tier, as Stackdriver monitors every resource in a Google Cloud Platform project. We're working on more flexible solutions. Thanks, Amir.

  • Thanks for the reply. It's about time I publicly rant about my stackdriver experience so far. First of all, the recent migration caused multiple issues that took several days to fix. I know you guys are very busy, but that takes me to my next point. Stackdriver is not ready to come out of beta. – Julius Žaromskis Oct 26 '16 at 07:50
  • The majority of our instances don't required monitoring. We have no choice but to stick with basic tier until this gets fixed. Without an ETA on a "more flexible solution", we might roll out our own monitoring solution. In this case there's no coming back to stackdriver. – Julius Žaromskis Oct 26 '16 at 08:03
