gcloud alpha monitoring policies create - create a new alerting policy

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha monitoring policies create --notification-channels=[NOTIFICATION_CHANNELS,...] [--aggregation=AGGREGATION --condition-display-name=CONDITION_DISPLAY_NAME --condition-filter=CONDITION_FILTER --duration=DURATION --if=IF_VALUE --trigger-count=TRIGGER_COUNT | --trigger-percent=TRIGGER_PERCENT] [--combiner=COMBINER --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME --no-enabled --user-labels=[KEY=VALUE,...] --documentation-format=DOCUMENTATION_FORMAT; default="text/markdown" --documentation=DOCUMENTATION | --documentation-from-file=DOCUMENTATION_FROM_FILE] [--policy=POLICY | --policy-from-file=POLICY_FROM_FILE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) Creates a new alerting policy. An alert policy can be specified as a JSON/YAML value passed in as a string through the --policy flag or as a file through the --policy-from-file flag. A basic policy can also be specified through command line flags. If a policy is specified through --policy or --policy-from-file, and additional flags are supplied, the flags will override the policy's settings and a specified condition will be appended to the list of conditions.

For information about the JSON/YAML format of an alerting policy: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/ref_v3/rest/v3/projects.alertPolicies

FLAGS

Notification Channel resource - Names of one or more Notification Channels to

be added to the policy. These should be the resource names (not the display name) of the channels. Acceptable formats are:

Channel Name: my-channel

  • The project specified through --project or the default project defined by the core/project property will be used, in that order.

Channel Relative Name: projects/my-project/notificationChannels/channel-id0

Channel URI: https://monitoring.googleapis.com/v3/projects/my-project/notificationChannels/channel-id0 This represents a Cloud resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways. To set the project attribute:

--notification-channels=[NOTIFICATION_CHANNELS,...]

IDs of the Notification Channels or fully qualified identifiers for the Notification Channels. To set the notification_channels attribute:

provide the argument --notification-channels on the command line.

Condition Settings. This will add a condition to the created policy. If any

conditions are already specified, this condition will be appended.

--aggregation=AGGREGATION

Specifies an Aggregation message as a JSON/YAML value to be applied to the condition. For more information about the format: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/ref_v3/rest/v3/projects.alertPolicies

--condition-display-name=CONDITION_DISPLAY_NAME

The display name for the condition.

--condition-filter=CONDITION_FILTER

Specifies the "filter" in a metric absence or metric threshold condition.

--duration=DURATION

The duration (e.g. "60s", "2min", etc.) that the condition must hold in order to trigger as true.

--if=IF_VALUE

One of "absent", "< THRESHOLD", "> THRESHOLD" where "THRESHOLD" is an integer or float.

At most one of these can be specified:
--trigger-count=TRIGGER_COUNT

The absolute number of time series that must fail the predicate for the condition to be triggered.

--trigger-percent=TRIGGER_PERCENT

The percentage of time series that must fail the predicate for the condition to be triggered.

Policy Settings. If any of these are specified, they will overwrite fields in

the --policy or --policy-from-file flags if specified.

--combiner=COMBINER

The combiner for the Alert Policy. COMBINER must be one of:

AND

An incident is created only if all conditions are met simultaneously. This combiner is satisfied if all conditions are met, even if they are met on completely different resources.

AND_WITH_MATCHING_RESOURCE

Combine conditions using logical AND operator, but unlike the regular AND option, an incident is created only if all conditions are met simultaneously on at least one resource.

COMBINE_UNSPECIFIED

An unspecified combiner

OR

An incident is created if any of the listed conditions is met.

--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME

The display name for the Alert Policy.

--enabled

If the policy is enabled. Enabled by default, use --no-enabled to disable.

--user-labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]

List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

If the policy was given as a JSON/YAML object from a string or file, this flag will replace the labels value in the given policy.

Documentation
--documentation-format=DOCUMENTATION_FORMAT; default="text/markdown"

The MIME type that should be used with --documentation or --documentation-from-file. Currently, only "text/markdown" is supported.

At most one of these can be specified:
--documentation=DOCUMENTATION

The documentation to be included with the policy.

--documentation-from-file=DOCUMENTATION_FROM_FILE

The path to a file containing the documentation to be included with the policy.

At most one of these can be specified:
--policy=POLICY

The policy as a string. In either JSON or YAML format.

--policy-from-file=POLICY_FROM_FILE

The path to a JSON or YAML file containing the policy.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist.
