    Within the dataset you must create a table for the data to reside in. Use the following instructions for creating your table. Pay close attention to the schema, as it must match the schema of your output JSON. Unfortunately, because BigQuery doesn't allow dots in field names, you must use a filter to change the fields for many of the standard inputs (for example, `mem` or `cpu`).
