This alert has detected a high rate of failed precondition errors in GCP Storage API requests. The alert is activated when the number of requests with the FAILED_PRECONDITION response code exceeds 10 for a continuous period of 5 minutes. Customization Guidance: Threshold: The default threshold is set at 10 failed precondition errors. Depending on your specific application needs and past performance data, this threshold may need adjustment. Critical buckets or methods handling important transactions may require a lower threshold. Bucket and Method Specificity: Tailor alerts for different buckets and methods based on their roles and criticality in your infrastructure. Critical buckets and methods handling high-stakes transactions may warrant more stringent monitoring. Notification Frequency: Consider the frequency of this alert to optimize the balance between responsiveness and noise. Adjust according to the criticality of the applications supported by the buckets and methods. Action: Upon triggering of this alert, immediate actions include reviewing recent API request logs, checking for configuration issues, and ensuring that the bucket and method configurations are appropriate. Mitigating issues may involve adjusting bucket settings or handling preconditions more effectively in the application.
