Is there a way to generate an alert when the GAE actual reaches more than 75% of the daily budget?

Tonight I got minutes of downtime because one of my apps hit the GAE standard budget limit. StackDrvier alerts immediately fired and notified us that the customers see “Over Quota” messages. I immediately increased the limit and after 2-3 minutes of agony and sweat, we were back in business.

Had I received alerts when I reached 75%(or something like that) of the budget everything would have been taken care of without the black eye of downtime. I really hope there is a way to do this...

If you elect to reply, please stay to the point when you reply. I am looking for a solution on a very acute problem not generalities and theory of operations. Is there an alert? If yes where is it, how do I set it? If not can the StackDrive Product Managers comment on whether this deserves to be added to the roadmap? 

Thanks!!

You have budget for global project consumption

Not only for GAE

GAE offer possibility to have a Limit (not the same as Budget)

There is a feature request for the App Engine spending limit to be integrated into Billing to allow for App Engine budget alerting. The engineering team is working on this integration but there is currently no ETA.

Is there an API to get to the amount spent from the start of the day?

Hi PK,

Is there an API to get to the amount spent from the start of the day?

I'm afraid not. Even in the BigQuery billing export (which is the most up-to-date store for cost data), AppEngine spend is pushed in a daily increment . All hours are "billed" as a single hour which makes real-time alerting impossible for now. 

This also has the side effect of making it impossible to precisely study the spending pattern of an AppEngine app at the hour granularity.

Let's hope this changes soon !

Nicolas
