Configure alerts

You can configure alerts to notify you when an event occurs. For example, you can create an alert to notify you when there is an authentication failure by a connector.

Integration Connectors supports the following two types of alert notifications:

• Alerts in Cloud Monitoring
• Alerts in Cloud Logging

Alerts in Cloud Monitoring

You can create and configure Cloud Monitoring alerts to notify you when an Integration Connectors resource exceeds or drops below a specified threshold. For example, you can create an alert to notify you when the total data processed by a connector exceeds a specified threshold value.

For more information about alerting in Cloud Monitoring, seeAlerting overview.

Before you begin

Make sure that you have theMonitoring Editor (roles/monitoring.editor) IAM role granted on your Google Cloud project. For information about granting roles, seeManage access.
