Alerting policies in GCP - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to specify the metric type for the alerting policy.

GCP

metric_type: "[1]"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a custom metric name when a standard metric is required.

The metric_type field must specify the exact metric to monitor. Here, CPU utilization for compute instances is a common choice.

Complete the code to set the threshold value for the alert condition.

GCP

threshold_value: [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A1.5

B0.5

C0.8

D2.0

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using values greater than 1 for utilization thresholds.

The threshold value defines when the alert triggers. For CPU utilization, 0.8 means 80% usage.

Fix the error in the alerting policy condition operator.

GCP

comparison: "[1]"

BCOMPARISON_GT

CCOMPARISON_EQ

DCOMPARISON_LT

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using COMPARISON_LT when the alert should trigger on high values.

The operator COMPARISON_GT triggers the alert when the metric exceeds the threshold.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to define the alerting policy's notification channel and display name.

GCP

notification_channels:
  - "[1]"
display_name: "[2]"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aprojects/my-project/notificationChannels/1234567890

BHigh CPU Alert

Cprojects/my-project/notificationChannels/0987654321

DDisk Space Alert

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using display names in place of notification channel resource names.

The notification_channels field requires the full resource name of the channel. The display_name is a friendly name for the alert.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to complete the alerting policy condition with metric, duration, and trigger count.

GCP

condition:
  filter: "metric.type = '[1]'"
  duration: "[2]"
  trigger:
    count: [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong metric names or incorrect duration format.

The filter specifies the metric to monitor. Duration is how long the condition must hold. Trigger count is how many times the condition must be met.
