Google Cloud Stackdriver: Metric grouped by ip

I want to create stackdriver metrics, based on the ip and the frequency of requests an ip makes.

Therefore I would like to group by ip (the IP address of a requesting client) my loadbalancer logs, and if the number of requests exceed a threshold sent a notification.

Edit:

A workaround to achieve this.

  1. Go to Stackdriver Logging and create a User-defined Metric that counts the total requests.
  2. Fire an alarm when requests exceed a threshold.
  3. Alarms call a lambda function that create a sync from stackdriver to bigquery
  4. Execute the queries in order to find out the ip that causes the trouble

There is no out of the box solution so there can be a workaround with BigQuery

  1. Go to Stackdriver Logging and create a User-defined Metric that counts the total requests.
  2. Fire an alarm when requests exceed a threshold.
  3. Alarms call a lambda function that create a sync from stackdriver to bigquery
  4. Execute the queries in order to find out the ip that causes the trouble

  • In Stackdriver Logging, create a User-defined Metric (myMetric) [1] filtered on the desired IP address,
  • In Stackdriver Monitoring, find resource type and metric by locating myMetric to create the chart.
