I have been dealing with Google pub-sub (using the python API) for some time now. I wanted to collect some metrics, specifically:
(1) num_undelivered_messages (2) num_outstanding_messages
I don't have access to a stackdriver account and I was hoping to get the metrics through the API.
I looked over this page : https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/demos/ and realized that there are only three APIs available : monitoredResourceDescriptors.list, metricDescriptors.list, and timeSeries.list
I'm not sure how any of the above can be used? Could somebody please help me out?
The relevant SO question is : Google PubSub - Counting messages in topic
Thanks!
