Remediation

To remediate the misconfiguration of not monitoring system problem count in GCP using GCP console, follow these steps:

  1. Open the GCP console and navigate to the Monitoring section.

  2. In the Monitoring section, select the Metrics Explorer from the left-hand menu.

  3. In the Metrics Explorer, select the resource type for which you want to monitor system problem count. For example, if you want to monitor system problem count for a GCE instance, select “GCE VM Instance” as the resource type.

  4. In the Metric field, type “system/problem_count” and select it from the dropdown list. This will show the system problem count metric for the selected resource type.

  5. Set the time range for which you want to monitor the system problem count. You can select a predefined time range or set a custom time range.

  6. Click on the “Create chart” button to create a chart for the system problem count metric.

  7. You can set up alerting policies to get notified when the system problem count exceeds a certain threshold. To set up alerting policies, click on the “Create alerting policy” button and follow the prompts.

  8. Once the alerting policy is set up, you will receive notifications when the system problem count exceeds the threshold.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of not monitoring system problem count in GCP using GCP console.
