- Open the Cloud Shell in the GCP console.
-
Run the following command to list all the databases in the project:
- Note down the name of the database instance for which you want to enable monitoring for database state check.
-
Run the following command to enable monitoring for database state check for the specified database instance:
Replace
[INSTANCE_NAME]with the name of the database instance you noted down in step 3. - After running the above command, the monitoring for database state check will be enabled for the specified database instance.
--database flag followed by the name of the database.Using Python
Using Python
To remediate the misconfiguration of not monitoring the database state check in GCP using Python, follow the steps below:Step 1: Install the necessary librariesYou will need to install the Google Cloud client library for Python. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:Step 2: Authenticate your applicationYou will need to authenticate your application to access the GCP API. You can do this by creating a service account and downloading the JSON key file. Then, set the environment variable Step 3: Create a metric and alert policyCreate a metric to monitor the database state check. You can do this by running the following code:Next, create an alert policy to notify you when the metric value is false. You can do this by running the following code:Step 4: Create a monitoring checkFinally, create a monitoring check to periodically check the database state. You can do this by running the following code:With these steps, you have successfully remediated the misconfiguration of not monitoring the database state check in GCP using Python.
