Question

Your company runs three separate Google Cloud projects: one for production, one for staging, and one for development. The operations team wants to view Compute Engine and application metrics from all three projects in a single set of Cloud Monitoring dashboards and configure alerting policies that span them. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Create a metrics scope in one project (the scoping project) and add the other two projects as monitored projects.

Answer

Enable the Cloud Monitoring API separately in each project and manually copy dashboard configurations between them.

Answer

Export metrics from all three projects to BigQuery and build dashboards using Looker Studio.

Answer

Move all three projects into the same folder so that Cloud Monitoring automatically aggregates their metrics.
