Summary

This is a step-by-step instruction to manually set up Cloud Monitoring through the server-side configuration feature to get familiar with the process. The target use case for this is for automation like Chef Cookbook, Ansible Playbook or scripts.

In this example, we are going to set up the filesystem check because it is always a good idea to get notified BEFORE you run out of space. We are going to use Ubuntu as the example OS to simplify the steps.

Steps

• Upgrade agent
• Create YAML file
