You can enable monitoring when you create an instance:

gcloud compute instances create instance-name \
    --image-family cos-stable \
    --image-project cos-cloud \
    --metadata=google-monitoring-enabled=true

You can also enable monitoring on an existing instance:

gcloud compute instances add-metadata instance-name \
    --metadata=google-monitoring-enabled=true
