Attribute name Attribute Attribute description
Cloud Type ibm_ctype The cloud type is a value of public, dedicated or local
Location ibm_location The location of the monitored resource - this may be a region, data center or global
Resource ibm_resource The resource being measured by the service - typically a identifying name or GUID
Resource Type ibm_resource_type The type of the resource being measured by the service
Resource group ibm_resource_group_name The resource group where the service instance was created
Scope ibm_scope The scope is the account, organization or space GUID associated with this metric
Service name ibm_service_name Name of the service generating this metric

Additional attributes
