Under the **Metric Collection** tab in Datadog's [Google Cloud integration page][11], deselect which regions to exclude from metrics collection.

You can also specify additional locations not listed and disable any global metrics not associated with a region.
If a region or location value isn't shown in the checkboxes, add it in the **Additional Locations** field. The filter performs an exact match against the label value reported by Google Cloud, so enter values exactly as they appear on your resources (for example, `us-central`).

Check notice on line 354 in content/en/getting_started/integrations/google_cloud.md

You can also disable any global metrics not associated with a region.
