The trace-agent <https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-trace-nodejs> and the monitoring <https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/monitoring/0.5.x/> client libraries are two separate libraries, thus the different ways of usage/configuration.
For the profiler (trace-agent), some environments require a configuration to be passed to the start() function and some does not (like GAE flex). See details here <https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-profiler-nodejs#running-on-app-engine-flexible-environment> for running outside Google Cloud, on GAE Flex, or on Compute/Container engines. For the monitoring agent, however, the 'project-id' is required at all times. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
