Trigger Google Monitor Alert via local script

[tacoma50]

Is there a way I could trigger a  Google Monitor alert from a script that runs on a Compute Engine VM?

Hello @tacoma50  ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

Most probably yes, by using custom metrics. Any specific reason for such config?

Hi
I have a local file on a VM that I want to monitor for 3 things:  it's age, size and contents.
