How does resource termination settings work for Google Cloud (GCP) monitoring?

In the Add/Edit Google Cloud (GCP) Monitor page (Site24x7 > Cloud > GCP > Add GCP Monitor), the option Automatically Remove Terminated Resources under Resource Termination Settings lets you remove terminated resources (in Google Cloud Console) from monitoring in Site24x7. A time period can also be defined as to how long the terminated resources should be retained in the Site24x7 web client before permanent deletion.


Here's how this works:
  1. If you want to be alerted when a resource is terminated in Google Cloud Console, toggle No in the Mute Resource Termination Alerts field.
  2. If you want to suspend the monitors associated to the resources you have terminated in Google Cloud Console, toggle No in the Monitor Terminated Resources field.
    1. If this field is set to Yes, monitoring will continue and the resource will be marked as "DOWN".
  3. If you want to delete the monitors associated with the resources you have terminated in Google Cloud Console, toggle Yes in the Automatically Remove Terminated Resources field. Setting 0 in the Remove Terminated Resources After field will delete the associated monitors in the next data collection (5 minute cycle).
    1. To set a delay before the monitor is deleted, enter a value greater than 0.
Monitors deleted from Site24x7 due to termination from Google Cloud Console will not be available for re-adding in Management Actions (Site24x7 > Cloud > GCP > Google Cloud monitor drop-down > Management Actions).
