<div class="method">
<code class="details" id="create">create(name, body, x__xgafv=None)</code>
<pre>Creates a new metric descriptor. User-created metric descriptors define custom metrics.
Args:
name: string, The project on which to execute the request. The format is "projects/{project_id_or_number}". (required)
body: object, The request body. (required)
The object takes the form of:
{ # Defines a metric type and its schema. Once a metric descriptor is created, deleting or altering it stops data collection and makes the metric type's existing data unusable.
"displayName": "A String", # A concise name for the metric, which can be displayed in user interfaces. Use sentence case without an ending period, for example "Request count".
"description": "A String", # A detailed description of the metric, which can be used in documentation.
"metricKind": "A String", # Whether the metric records instantaneous values, changes to a value, etc. Some combinations of metric_kind and value_type might not be supported.
"valueType": "A String", # Whether the measurement is an integer, a floating-point number, etc. Some combinations of metric_kind and value_type might not be supported.
"labels": [ # The set of labels that can be used to describe a specific instance of this metric type. For example, the appengine.googleapis.com/http/server/response_latencies metric type has a label for the HTTP response code, response_code, so you can look at latencies for successful responses or just for responses that failed.
{ # A description of a label.
"valueType": "A String", # The type of data that can be assigned to the label.
"description": "A String", # A human-readable description for the label.
"key": "A String", # The label key.
},
],
"type": "A String", # The metric type, including its DNS name prefix. The type is not URL-encoded. All user-defined custom metric types have the DNS name custom.googleapis.com. Metric types should use a natural hierarchical grouping. For example:
# "custom.googleapis.com/invoice/paid/amount"
# "appengine.googleapis.com/http/server/response_latencies"
"unit": "A String", # The unit in which the metric value is reported. It is only applicable if the value_type is INT64, DOUBLE, or DISTRIBUTION. The supported units are a subset of The Unified Code for Units of Measure (http://unitsofmeasure.org/ucum.html) standard:Basic units (UNIT)

# ;
#

"name": "A String", # The resource name of the metric descriptor. Depending on the implementation, the name typically includes: (1) the parent resource name that defines the scope of the metric type or of its data; and (2) the metric's URL-encoded type, which also appears in the type field of this descriptor. For example, following is the resource name of a custom metric within the GCP project my-project-id:
