Track Resource Usage from BigQuery with Kestra's Metric Dashboard

Kestra's Metric Dashboard provides an effective solution for tracking and managing resource usage on Google BigQuery, helping users handle the costs associated with cloud-based data warehouses. By creating scheduled tasks using Kestra's BigQuery plugin, users can automate SQL queries and monitor metrics such as bytes processed, query duration, and the number of referenced tables. The dashboard offers insights into resource consumption, enabling organizations to optimize task scheduling for cost efficiency, such as rescheduling data-intensive jobs to off-peak hours. Additionally, the Metric Dashboard allows for comprehensive monitoring across various metrics, including custom ones, enhancing the visibility and management of ETL processes. Future updates are expected to introduce SLA capabilities, offering further control over data pipeline operations.
