Documentation on how to write monitoring metrics doesn't help much

[jinwoo]

The document clearly says I have to use monitoring.projects.timeSeries.create(), which is good: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/ref_v3/rest/v3/projects.timeSeries/create

But it doesn't have any sample code for what the actual payload should be within the resource field: what timeSeries, timeSeries/metric, and timeSeries/metric/labels fields should be like, etc. It's really frustrating to figure them out by trials and errors.

I have some good news :) . See #1141.

Awesome. But even with that change, things are still not clear. E.g. what the timeSeries/metric/labels field should look like? The type definition says just any :(

@jinwoo
Please see TimeSeries docs page.
I believe there is a good description of all TimeSeries object components.

Please confirm if this helps you.
