What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams implement and manage Cloud Monitoring alert policies for costs, errors, and performance in Google Cloud Platform.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Create and manage alert policies across projects using Cloud Monitoring.
• Configure notification channels (email, Slack, PagerDuty, and Pub/Sub) for policy triggers.
• Use case: When a budget threshold is reached or VM CPU usage spikes, automatically generate alerts and route them to the right on-call.

Quick Start

Use the gcloud commands to enable the API and list/create a policy, e.g.:

gcloud services enable monitoring.googleapis.com --project $PROJECT_ID gcloud alpha monitoring policies list --project $PROJECT_ID

example policy creation

gcloud monitoring policies create --policy-from-file=/path/to/policy.json --project $PROJECT_ID
