Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of unverified notification channels in GCP using GCP CLI, follow the below steps:Step 1: Open the Google Cloud Console and navigate to the Cloud Monitoring page.Step 2: Click on the “Notification Channels” tab.Step 3: Identify the notification channels that are unverified.Step 4: Open the Google Cloud Shell.Step 5: Run the following command to verify a notification channel:

gcloud alpha monitoring channels verify [CHANNEL_ID]

Replace [CHANNEL_ID] with the ID of the notification channel that you want to verify.Step 6: Repeat step 5 for all the unverified notification channels.Step 7: Verify that all the notification channels are now verified by running the following command:

gcloud alpha monitoring channels list

This will list all the notification channels in your GCP project along with their verification status.Step 8: Once all the notification channels are verified, the misconfiguration is remediated.Note: You can also verify notification channels using the GCP Console. To do so, open the Cloud Monitoring page, click on the “Notification Channels” tab, select an unverified channel, and click on the “Verify” button.

Using Python

To remediate the “Cloud Monitoring Notification Channels Should Be Verified” misconfiguration in GCP using Python, you can follow the below steps:Step 1: Install the required Python libraries

pip install google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2 google-cloud-monitoring google-cloud-logging

Step 2: Authenticate with GCP using Python

from google.oauth2 import service_account
from google.cloud import monitoring_v3

# Replace [PATH_TO_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE] with the path to the service account file.
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file('[PATH_TO_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE]')

# Create a client object for the Google Cloud Monitoring API
client = monitoring_v3.MetricServiceClient(credentials=credentials)

Step 3: Get the list of notification channels

from google.cloud import monitoring_v3

# Replace [PROJECT_ID] with your GCP project ID.
project_name = f"projects/{[PROJECT_ID]}"

# Get the list of notification channels
channels = client.list_notification_channels(project_name)
for channel in channels:
    print(channel)

Step 4: Verify each notification channel

from google.cloud import monitoring_v3

# Replace [PROJECT_ID] with your GCP project ID.
project_name = f"projects/{[PROJECT_ID]}"

# Get the list of notification channels
channels = client.list_notification_channels(project_name)

for channel in channels:
    if not channel.verified:
        # Verify the notification channel
        client.verify_notification_channel(channel.name)
        print(f"Verified notification channel: {channel.name}")

By following these steps, you can remediate the “Cloud Monitoring Notification Channels Should Be Verified” misconfiguration in GCP using Python.
