Metrics appear in Datadog approximately **15 minutes** after setup.
The first metrics appear in Datadog approximately **15 minutes** after setup. After the initial setup, expect a steady-state delay of approximately **7-8 minutes** for new metrics. See [Cloud Metric Delay][412] for details.

Change the alignment function to `delta`, `min`, `max`, `sum`, or `mean`. Assuming you are using the most granular dimensions, the value in Google Cloud should match the value in Datadog.

## Latency

Google Cloud emits metrics with one-minute granularity, and Datadog pulls them through the Google Cloud Monitoring API. Expect a steady-state delay of approximately 7-8 minutes between when Google Cloud records a metric and when it appears in Datadog. See [Cloud Metric Delay][7] for the full breakdown across cloud providers.

When troubleshooting a metric that appears delayed but not missing, wait at least 10-15 minutes before assuming it is missing. For initial integration setup, the first metrics appear in Datadog approximately 15 minutes after the integration is configured.
