In Umbrella Cost, you can find our unique solution that helps track Kubernetes costs and usage up to the pod level, better understand them, and easily identify wasted spend.

To unlock the full potential of your Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), follow the steps below:

Connecting your clusters to Umbrella Cost

Ensure that the project that the clusters are associated with is connected in Umbrella:

1. Navigate to Account > Projects page. If the project status is connected, move to the next step. If not, you can find guidance on how to connect them here.

2. For each cluster, make sure that you enabled the "cloud Monitoring' feature on GCP:

Adding your GKE Labels

Provide additional metadata and labels for a more comprehensive view of your K8s clusters.
Follow GCP documentation to create a labeling table: https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/cluster-usage-metering#create-dataset

💡

Keep the following in mind:

1. You can only export data to a BigQuery dataset in the same project as your cluster.
2. Umbrella cost supports one dataset per GCP project. Meaning, we support multiple datasets per account configuration.
3. Upon completing GCP instructions, send the following information to Umbrella support ([email protected]):
   • Project ID
   • GKE dataset name
