GCP Monitoring Alert policy

Question

I am attempting to create an alert policy when a metric value drops from 1 to 0. I understand how to set a threshold of below value, but is there a mechanism/logic/condition I can use to set an alert to be triggered if it lowers in value of x amount of minutes?

Thank you

Answer 1

In the Cloud Console:

1. Go to Monitoring
2. Select Alerting.
3. Click Create policy.
4. Click Add Condition in the Create new alerting policy window.

Target:
Select Resource Type (VM Instance/Container/etc)
Metric (CPU Usage/Memory/etc)
Period (Time Interval)

Configuration:
Condition triggers if
Condition (is below in your case)
Threshold
For (select number of minutes)
