+[GCE](https://cloud.google.com/compute/) SD configurations allow retrieving scrape targets from GCP GCE instances.
+The private IP address is used by default, but may be changed to the public IP
+address with relabeling.
+
+The following meta labels are available on targets during relabeling:
+
+* `__meta_gce_project`: the GCP project in which the instance is running
+* `__meta_gce_zone`: the GCE zone in which the instance is running
+* `__meta_gce_network`: the network of the instance
+* `__meta_gce_subnetwork`: the subnetwork of the instance
+* `__meta_gce_public_ip`: the public IP address of the instance, if present
+* `__meta_gce_private_ip`: the private IP address of the instance
+* `__meta_gce_instance_name`: the name of the instance
+* `__meta_gce_instance_status`: the lifecycle status of the instance
+* `__meta_gce_instance_tags`: comma separated list of instance tags
+* `__meta_gce_instance_metadata_<metadatakey>`: each metadata value of the instance
