Setting Up Statuspage for GCP Cloud to Monitor and Alert on Uptime and Downtime

[ATUL VERMA]

I am looking to set up Statuspage for my organization, which primarily uses GCP (Google Cloud Platform). We aim to create a Statuspage that provides real-time information on uptime and downtime, and sends automatic email alerts to subscribers in the event of any system failures or alerts.

Could someone guide me through the Complete Steps required to integrate Statuspage with GCP? Specifically, I am interested in:-

1. Configuring Statuspage to monitor our GCP services.
2. Setting up automated alerts and emails to notify subscribers of any issues.
3. Displaying this information dynamically on our Statuspage.
4. Also how can I use statuspage API.

Any advice on how to effectively implement this or any reference to helpful resources would be greatly appreciated!

1. Yes, you can add these components by navigating to Manage page > Components > Third-party > Google Cloud Platform > Add.

You can select the individual GCP components next to this list.

Hi @Shashwat Khare ,

I am seeking your expertise to streamline our incident management processes by integrating our Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services with Atlassian Statuspage. Our objective is to Automate the creation of incidents on Statuspage based on alerts, errors, or downtime notifications from GCP. This integration is crucial for ensuring real-time updates and effective response management within our infrastructure.

We need the system to automatically reflect any GCP-generated alerts as incidents on our Statuspage. Additionally, it should automatically send email alerts whenever such incidents are recorded. This functionality will significantly enhance our ability to monitor and respond to critical issues affecting our operations.

Additionally, I am considering the integration of third-party GCP components to enhance our monitoring capabilities. However, I am currently unable to find settings or options that would allow these components to interact seamlessly with our real-time GCP machines and databases.

Could you provide guidance on how to configure these integrations effectively?
