I'm trying to visualize GKE usage metering data using a Data Studio dashboard following the official document.
https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/cluster-usage-metering#view_in_data-studio
It says
We created a dashboard you can copy into your project. When you copy the dashboard, you are prompted to select three data sources you just created.
I guess the three data sources means a data source created from the cost breakdown table, gke_cluster_resource_consumption and gke_cluster_resource_usage.
However, when creating a copy from the data studio template, I can choose only one data source.
Am I missing something?
I think the Google documentation is outdated.
However, if you follow the documentation, at the point where you clone the dashboard, it just asks you to create one DataSource (=cost breakdown table). What happens when you select this source? Maybe the error is only in the word "three".
The other two DataSources you mentioned are cited in other part of the document, so I guess they're for other purpose. The Google's dashboard have other linked DataSources, but they're not used.
So, apparently, you need only one DataSource to make this dashboard work.
If this doesn't work, I would say you're out of lucky. Try to ask Google in some community forum to fix their documentation.

I am new to Google BigQuery.
I am now logged into bq console, but the resource window for tables and datasets is too small to navigate and is pinned into bottom left, and its not resizable, please help on how can i unpin the window to navigate it.
It looks like this.
Looks like what you want is something like below
There are many way to accomplish this. I will present two of them
Customize existing/available UI to fit your own specific needs using so called Bookmarklet
Bookmarklets are saved and used as normal bookmarks. As such, they are simple "one-click" tools which add functionality to the browser.
There is a wide usage of bookmarklets - one of which is to modify the appearance of a web page within the browser - which is exactly your use case.
You can create bookmarklet that will switch visibility of elements above the data navigator as in above example
if your needs are more sophisticated and you are looking for more perks than just hiding elements of UI - you can look into third party IDE for BigQuery
I can recommend one to check out - Goliath - the part of Potens.io Suite for BigQuery. You will find there everything you would expected from professional big data IDE tool.
It is free to use and is available on GCP Marketplace
Disclosure - I am part and lead of Potens.io Team (which is also clearly stated in my SO Profile)
Did you mean you want to unpin a project that has "Pin icon" in the screenshot?
If yes, You can unpin a project to clcik "UNPIN PROJECT" right side of bigquery console.
You have to click project(e.g bigquery-public-data) first to meet "UNPIN PROJECT".
From Data Studio, I am not able to list any Big Query projects. Not even Public projects. I have access to Big Query Tables and projects, but once I log in through Data Studio and try to add a data source, it's showing all blank, including custom queries, etc.
I also faced the same situation and I hope this helps someone else with this confusion. I'm assuming that this could be the solution to this question too. (Do let me know)
When you are trying to add a BigQuery connection to Data Studio, you need to have a Google Project because BigQuery is a paid service. The querying in BigQuery incurs a cost. A project with billing enabled, is not a must for you to load the Datasets in the above screenshot.
Follow these steps to get this issue fixed.
Check the email address you have used to connect to Data Studio. You can click on the avatar on the top right corner. (If this is wrong, simply switch to the correct email.)
Check whether Google Cloud Console is enabled for the above-selected email.
Check whether you have a project in the Cloud Console. Make sure there is a project to be used when creating a BigQuery connection from Data Studio.
With this, your view should show the projects linked with your Google Cloud Console email address.
If the above doesn't work..
Do a refresh of the page and see
If not, create a support ticket or Ask the Data Studio Community.
For example when I try to figure out what properties I can put into deployment manager for creating a bigquery table, I had to reference the REST API docs as the best place to find parameters and required fields.
Is there a good place from within gcloud command or online docs that are specific to deployment manager yamls? I would like to be able to reference required fields and optional fields for creating GCP resources. Currently it's very difficult to figure out.
From the documentation at: https://cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/docs/configuration/supported-resource-types
You can get a list of the supported resource types by running:
gcloud deployment-manager types list
That said the yaml reference from documentation on the that page looks pretty complete.
Edit: Refer to this github link for a list of deployment manager examples.
If anything you need is not described in the documentation/exemplary schemas there is a brutal walk around.
You can make an api call with developer console open (F12) and have a look on network activity where your call will be described with all used and available properties.
It will not provide any addtional information about implementation besides parameter's name itself, so you will have to follow rules covering alike parameter.
I would like to add a Google Trends chart for a specific search term to my Google Data Studio report, but Trends is not an option in the Data Source list. I wasn't able to find an option to embed JavaScript either. Is it possible to add a Trends chart to a report in Data Studio? Thanks!
I am posting this workaround as it seems no similar solution has been provided since.
You can actually do this, using a small workaround:
Create the graph you want to embed using Google Trends.
Click the "embed" icon in the upper right corner of the graph, and copy the JS-code (for either desktop or mobile device)
Create a simple empty HTML-file using notepad or similar text editor. (including , , as per common standard). Place it in an empty folder on your hard drive.
Paste the Google Trends-embed code into the section of your HTML-file.
Go to https://app.netlify.com/drop and upload the whole folder (including your .html-file). Copy the direct link provided by Netlify. (note: Any other form of public hosting should work fine, this is just my personal preference)
In Google Data Studio, click "URL embed" and paste your direct link.
Voila!
(Note: As this is a direct graph link and not a data feed, it, unfortunately, won't let you filter or change settings. but if configured wisely before copying the embed code, should do the trick for any time range, year-on-year or similar needs.)
Hope this helps someone :)
You can use supermetrics.com that has a google trends (free) datasource and then import a common sheet into your dashboard, the only problem is that you wont be able to change the date range, meaning its only "one way"
Unfortunately, the Google Trends data connector has stopped working in Supermetrics. They use an unofficial Google API that has been faulty lately.
The connector was removed Dec 2018.
We have a website featuring Sitecore 8.1 with multiple content editors. Is there any way to log their activity, as in listing the actions they have performed in terms of editing/publishing/unpublishing?
We had a problem last week which I suspect being caused by someone unpublishing the wrong item, but I need to make sure this is the case, or at least I would like this ability in the future.
Do I need to create my own event-triggered logging?
There's nothing fully out of the box to provide those reports in Sitecore. You can take a look at the Sitecore Audit Trail module which will log all the "editor action" audit information into a separate log4net appender. You can find more information on the module in this blog post, but note that the module is only mark as compatible to Sitecore 7.5, it should not be hard to make this work with Sitecore 8.1, namely updating the appender config since the log4net config is now within the <sitecore> node in config.
Sitecore does log content editor actions out of the box in the normal log files (in Data\logs), they start with "AUDIT" so you can find them. It logs things such as items being saved, publishes starting, etc. Do a search in the log files to find them.
You can get these saved to a separate log file for easier review: https://sdn.sitecore.net/scrapbook/how%20to%20make%20sitecore%206%20write%20audit%20log%20to%20its%20own%20file.aspx
This still works in Sitecore 8 except the setting is in App_Config/Sitecore.config now.
You can use Sitecore Advanced System Reporter
Sitecore 6 ships with a very useful function called My Locked Items. At times, though, admin users may want to see all locked items, not just those locked by them. I wrote a little application to do just that. Then I thought of making it more generic, so that one could create other type of reports easily. The result is a little framework which allows to create many types of reports in very short time. In this module I provide this framework together with many useful example reports like:
items modified updated in the last X days
items that have more than X children
items that are publishable but either do not exist or have a different version in the web
database.
items that are based on a particular template
items with validation errors
which templates have been linked to a workflow
locked items
publishable items with broken links
audit information
errors in the log files
items that have stayed in the same workflow state for more than X days
and more.
You can now also parametrise those reports, save them as links in the desktop, export them, or even create a scheduled task that emails some of them automatically. In addition, you can also apply commands to the items reported.
You can download the module from : https://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/A/Advanced_System_Reporter.aspx
Module is available for Sitecore 6.4 to 8. I don't know if has the functionality you look but you can customize it.
You can check this blogpost how to extend it: http://www.seanholmesby.com/sitecore-auditing-with-the-advanced-system-reporter/
Update
Install the module
Run the module and choose reports like in picture.
Run the report
View the report or export it like csv, excel or xml .
