How to amend the SMS message from GCP alerting notification?

[sysph]

Hi there,

I've sat up Email, MS Team, and SMS channels in our alerting notification channel. However, i seem can't change the message sent to the phone number configured. 

It only shows "ALRT <alert policy name> Log match condition".  How do i change the message? 

Another question is how do we be charged by receiving SMS that sent by GCP? 

Does any documentation for my questions? 

Thanks in advance.

Hello @sysph,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

You should create an alerting policy that sends notifications, generates an alert and allows you to use the notification channels that you created. This document might be useful for you.

Thanks

Hi @Willbin, 

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, i was able to create the alert policy and send to notification channels.  However, is it possible to modify the SMS message?  Thanks 🙂

The SMS contents are not able to be customized today, but it's something that we'll be working towards and can let you know when it's ready. Stay tuned!

Hi there,

how does Google charge on using GCP alerting SMS or MS Team? Is it charged by the number of SMS/notification in GCP billing? Is there's a threshold per GCP project? How many phone numbers are we allow to set per GCP project?

so far i can only find the limits of alerts but still can't find price for SMS charges. https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/quotas#alerting_uptime_limits
