Hi @sharontmathew, 

Welcome to Google Cloud Community! 

You can set-up monitoring metrics for Compute Engine disk utilization and configure alert notifications using the guidelines provided in Create metric-threshold alerting policies. This resource details the process of utilizing the Google Cloud Console to create a metric-based alerting policy that triggers notifications whenever metric values exceed or fall below a defined threshold within a specified evaluation period.

Note that this does not apply to log-based alerting policies. For information about log-based alerting policies, which notify you when a particular message appears in your logs, see Monitoring your logs.

For further reference on monitoring alerts and VM metrics, please review the following documentations:

• Metrics, time series, and resources 
• Collect metrics overview
• Alerting overview 

I hope the above information is helpful.
