Example Configuration

resource "google_logging_metric" "logging_metric_437" {
  name   = "logging_metric_437"
  filter = " resource.type=\"gce_firewall_rule\" AND protoPayload.methodName:\"compute.firewalls.patch\" OR protoPayload.methodName:\"compute.firewalls.insert\""

  metric_descriptor {
    value_type  = "INT64"
    metric_kind = "DELTA"
  }
}

resource "google_monitoring_alert_policy" "alert_policy" {
  depends_on   = [google_logging_metric.logging_metric_437]
  display_name = "Alert Policy"
  combiner     = "OR"
  conditions {
    display_name = "condition"
    condition_threshold {
      filter     = "resource.type=\"global\" metric.type=\"logging.googleapis.com/user/logging_metric_437\""
      duration   = "60s"
      comparison = "COMPARISON_GT"
    }
