## PubSub integration
[Enterprise version](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) of `vmagent` can write metrics to GCP PubSub:
* [Writing metrics to PubSub](#writing-metrics-to-pubsub)
The enterprise version of vmagent is available for evaluation at [releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases) page
in `vmutils-...-enterprise.tar.gz` archives and in [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/r/victoriametrics/vmagent/tags) with tags containing `enterprise` suffix.
### Writing metrics to PubSub
[Enterprise version](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/enterprise.html) of `vmagent` can push metrics to PubSub.
#### Usage
1. Create a PubSub topic to publish to:\
`gcloud pubsub topics create $TOPIC`
2. Run vmagent with remoteWrite.url schema set to "pubsub", and value set to the PubSub topic:\
`-remoteWrite.url=pubsub:projects/$PROJECT/topics/$TOPIC`
#### Protocol
`vmagent` performs all the recording rules and streaming aggregation processing before publishing the data.
Data is published with _at-least-once_ semantics.
Data is published as compressed remotewrite protocol blocks, one *remotewrite* block per a PubSub message.
Data is compressed as per other vmagent settings (see `-forceVMProto`).
If AccountID/ProjectID are set (multitenant), then each PubSub message contains `project_id` and `account_id`
attributes, so that PubSub subscriptions can subscribe to particular tenants.
#### Auth
If no authentication flags are set, `vmagent` uses default [Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/provide-credentials-adc)
See "Workload Identity" section for Kubernetes.
To provide credentials explicitly, see `-gcp.pubsub.credentialsFile` flag.
Principal must have the following permissions:
| Permission | Available Role |
|-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| pubsub.topics.publish | [Pub/Sub Publisher](https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/access-control#pubsub.publisher) |
#### Config
`vmagent` supports the following flags for the PubSub publisher:
| Flag | Default | Description |
|---------------------------------------------|--------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `gcp.pubsub.credentialsFile` | "" | Credentials to use to authenticate to GCP. |
| `gcp.pubsub.publish.countThreshold` | 100 | Publish a batch when it has this many messages. |
| `gcp.pubsub.publish.byteThreshold` | 1000000 | Publish a batch when its size in bytes reaches this value. |
| `gcp.pubsub.publish.timeout` | 60s | The maximum time that the client will attempt to publish a bundle of messages. |
| `gcp.pubsub.publish.delayThreshold` | 10ms | Publish a non-empty batch after this delay has passed. |
| `gcp.pubsub.publish.maxOutstandingMessages` | 100 | Maximum number of buffered messages to be published. If less than or equal to zero, this is disabled. |
| `gcp.pubsub.publish.maxOutstandingBytes` | -1 | Maximum size of buffered messages to be published. If less than or equal to zero, this is disabled. |
#### Monitoring
`vmagent` exposes the following flags related to PubSub publisher:
| Metric | Description |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------|
| `vmagent_remotewrite_pubsub_sent_messages_total{project,topic}` | Message/block enqueued |
| `vmagent_remotewrite_pubsub_published_messages_total{project,topic,status}` | Message published |
## How to build from sources
We recommend using [official binary releases](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases/latest) - `vmagent` is located in the `vmutils-...` archives.
