This tutorial shows you how to setup and configure Google Stackdriver.

Requirements:

• A cloud provider based project; it should support Stackdriver Monitoring and Tracing — we'll use Google Cloud Platform for this example

If you haven't already created a project on Google Cloud, you can do so here.

You will be enabling these two APIs:

• Stackdriver Monitoring API
• Stackdriver Trace API

Please make sure to enable Application Default Credentials for authentication.
