The reason for this behavior is that the Stackdriver Monitoring API V3 emits 4 values for the metric type redis.googleapis.com/stats/cpu_utilization per node. These probably correspond to the 4 different CPU cores Redis runs on, but an identifier for the core is not emitted as a metric label. Prometheus however expects, that the metric name and label key-value pairs are unique per scrape, which is not the case here.

Possible workaround are:

• Computing an average value per core
• Dropping any but one value for all duplicate metrics
• Adding a random label for duplicate metrics

I implemented the second workaround (because it was the simplest) in my fork but I don't consider this a reasonable fix for the issue, see this commit: https://github.com/janhicken/stackdriver_exporter/commit/ec612cc0d1ab8c03a29812cd662ee9af5a995617

There are known issues with the memorystore metrics. Apparently there's multiple internal bugs and one of them is filed https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119642989 I opened tickets and the support rep said they know about the issues and they're working on it.

I'm not sure if I'm seeing the same issue as here or in #48, but definitely one of them with cloudtasks as prefix. FWIW, I also seem to get duplicate rows from the metrics explorer. I haven't dug into the API response yet.

Any updates for this, https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119642989 seems be fixed now.

The API is still missing the labels. I've opened a new issue (as requested by the bot): https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/143057656

I do see the same error with redis.googleapis.com/stats/memory/usage_ratio although there is no additional label mentioned in the docs (https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics_gcp#gcp-redis)
