Datascoop – Cloud Observer is a secure, enterprise-grade Google Cloud monitoring and observability dashboard that helps engineering, DevOps, and operations teams gain real-time visibility into the health, performance, reliability, and cost efficiency of their cloud infrastructure.
Cloud Observer integrates directly with your Google Cloud environment and provides actionable insights into Cloud Run services, Compute Engine instances, application performance, error trends, and resource utilization — all in a unified, easy-to-use dashboard accessible directly from Google Workspace.
Why Cloud Observer
Modern cloud environments are dynamic, distributed, and constantly scaling. Native monitoring tools provide raw metrics, but identifying inefficiencies, performance risks, and optimization opportunities requires deeper analysis and visualization.
Cloud Observer simplifies this process by transforming raw Google Cloud metrics into meaningful operational intelligence.
It enables teams to:
• Detect performance bottlenecks
• Identify underutilized or over-provisioned services
• Monitor application health and reliability
• Analyze error trends and failure patterns
• Optimize infrastructure usage and cloud costs
• Improve operational efficiency and system stability
Key Features
Cloud Run Monitoring
Monitor serverless services with detailed insights including:
• Request rate and traffic trends
• Latency percentiles (P50, P95, P99)
• CPU and memory utilization
• Instance scaling behavior
• Error rate analysis
Cloud Observer helps teams quickly identify inefficient services and scaling issues.
Compute Engine Monitoring
Track performance and utilization of virtual machines:
• CPU utilization trends
• Memory utilization
• GPU utilization (where applicable)
• Instance activity status
• Idle or underutilized instance detection
This helps reduce unnecessary cloud costs and improve resource efficiency.
Error Monitoring and Analysis
Cloud Observer integrates with Google Cloud Error Reporting to provide:
• Aggregated error insights
• Error frequency trends
• Service-level error visibility
• Faster root cause identification
This enables faster incident response and improved system reliability.
Infrastructure Optimization Insights
Cloud Observer automatically analyzes usage patterns and highlights:
• Idle resources
• Over-provisioned services
• Optimization opportunities
• Performance risk indicators
This helps engineering teams make informed decisions to improve efficiency.
Unified Monitoring Dashboard
Cloud Observer provides a single centralized dashboard where teams can:
• Monitor multiple projects
• Track multiple services
• View real-time health metrics
• Analyze trends over time
No complex setup required.
Secure by Design
Security and privacy are core principles of Cloud Observer.
Cloud Observer:
• Uses Google OAuth secure authentication
• Requests read-only access to monitoring data
• Does not modify cloud resources
• Does not access Google Drive, Gmail, or document content
• Stores authentication tokens securely using encrypted storage
• Never sells or shares customer data
Users maintain full control and can revoke access anytime.
Built for Engineering and DevOps Teams
Cloud Observer is ideal for:
• DevOps engineers
• Cloud architects
• Site reliability engineers
• Platform engineering teams
• Cloud operations teams
• Technical leaders and administrators
It helps teams maintain reliable, efficient, and optimized cloud environments.
Seamless Google Workspace Integration
Cloud Observer integrates directly with Google Workspace, allowing users to launch monitoring dashboards securely without complex setup.
Authentication is handled securely using Google OAuth.
