I want to share that I have been using the new console for a while. I have been very satisfied with it. Please keep up the good work in this area.

One thing I have not been able to find is the GAE daily charges that was there in the old console, is it hiding somewhere or it has been omitted?

Updated Google Cloud Platform console
Dear Google Cloud Platform customer,

A majority of Google Cloud Platform console customers are now using the new GCP console to manage their applications and services. On November 30, 2015, we plan to migrate all remaining customers to the new UI and are providing this final reminder to please test any remaining use cases. In order to access the new UI, you may do the following:

  1. Visit console.cloud.google.com
  2. Click the button in the upper right entitled Try the beta console.

Please use the feedback icon (“twitter”) in the new UI to provide feedback. 

Best wishes,
Stewart Fife on behalf of the Google Cloud Platform Team

Hi PK,

Thank you for the feedback, very appreciated.

I assume you mean the total daily charges that was compiled in the Admin console? Or simply what you could see in the Developer console's dashboard? Because the Developer's console dashboard is still present in the new beta console. If you mean the older total daily charge from the Admin, it's not in the new one. I can file it as a feature to add if you want.

Cheers!

I mean the screen under Billing/Usage History in the old console. In the amount column it shows the daily charges. In the event column you can drill down on a daily basis. If this is not available I would appreciate filing a ticket.

I agree, this view is very useful and afaik missing from the new console.

Hey all!

So, I was about to open a new issue to track this, and seems like it already exists here. Feel free to star it to get updates and give more weight to the request :).

Cheers!

Patrice,

In the Datastore/Query panel, please, do not load the first entity kind by default. The probability that a user wants to see exactly the first 50 entities of exactly the first entity kind on _every_ visit is extremely low, so there is no need to make a user wait every time until these entities load in the view.

It's a small thing. Otherwise, I am getting used to the new console and start enjoying it.

New console is visually appealing, and it's nice to have access to various GCP services (other than AppEngine) all in one place. That said, I still often use old AppEngine console (https://appengine.google.com/) in conjunction with the new one, for a variety of reasons:

  • On large projects (>1000 AppEngine instances) the new console AppEngine Instances page never finishes loading. The corresponding page in the old console (https://appengine.google.com/instances) takes time, but it usually loads completely.
  • Again on large projects (>1000 AppEngine instances) the new console AppEngine Dashboard page loads only partially. The top chart and the Resouce Usage table do get loaded, but the breakdown of Current load by URI (table with Requests rate last minute, Requests last 24 hours, etc) never gets loaded. This works fine on small projects, but fails on projects with many instances running. Again, old console works better here.
  • Old console is faster to load, and dashboard graphs seem to have higher resolution (time density of points). If I just deployed a new version and want to see the impact of the new deployment in dashboard graphs within minutes of the deployment, I generally use old console because changes show up sooner. Yes, old console is mostly web 1.0 and requires page reload to refresh the graph, but the trend usually becomes visible in the old console well before it becomes visible in the new one.

Hi all,

This is all definitely interesting and good points about the console. Since I foresee this thread evolving in such a way making it hard for me to track all the individual requests and make sure they are properly ported back to the Issue Tracker, I would ask if you guys are willing to open your own issues for this in the tracker.

Myself, or someone else from the team, will take it up from there and address your request :).

Cheers!
