title: How can I see the total number of rows of a BigQuery table in a chart?
body: <p>I want to create a dashboard/chart in Google Cloud Monitoring where I can see the total number of rows of my BigQuery table at all times.</p>
  <p>With resource type &quot;bigquery_dataset&quot; and metric &quot;uploaded_row_count&quot; I only see the number of new rows per second with aligner &quot;rate&quot;.
  If I choose &quot;sum&quot; as aligner it only shows the number of new rows added for the chosen alignment period.</p>
  <p>I'm probably missing something but how do I see the total number of rows of a table?</p>
  <p>PubSub subscriptions have this option with metric &quot;num_undelivered_messages&quot; and also Dataflow jobs with &quot;element_count&quot;.</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
