Table: gcp_monitoring_group - Query GCP Monitoring Groups using SQL

A Monitoring Group in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a named set of Google Cloud resources identified by a filter. These groups provide a way to monitor and manage the combined behavior of a collection of related resources. They are useful for aggregate analysis and for building higher-level, more abstract collections.

Export

This table is available as a standalone Exporter CLI. Steampipe exporters are stand-alone binaries that allow you to extract data using Steampipe plugins without a database.

You can download the tarball for your platform from the Releases page, but it is simplest to install them with the steampipe_export_installer.sh script:

/bin/sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://steampipe.io/install/export.sh)" -- gcp

You can pass the configuration to the command with the --config argument:

steampipe_export_gcp --config '<your_config>' gcp_monitoring_group
