I have an app running on Google Container Engine.
I would like to monitor number requests per second my api is receiving how can I do this?
is there a way monitoring from historical metrics on Stackdriver as I am opted for Stackdriver Premium
Looking at https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/logging-stackdriver/ I see that Stackdriver is deployed in the cluster by default. It looks like that, according to https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics, this includes the metrics you are looking for.
