NAME
gcloud beta monitoring channels create - create a new notification channel
SYNOPSIS
gcloud beta monitoring channels create [--channel-content=CHANNEL_CONTENT     | --channel-content-from-file=PATH_TO_FILE] [--channel-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…] --description=DESCRIPTION --display-name=DISPLAY_NAME --no-enabled --type=TYPE --user-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(BETA) Creates a new notification channel. A channel can be specified as JSON/YAML passed in as a string through the --channel-content flag or as a file through the --channel-content-from-file flag. A basic channel can also be specified through command line flags. If a channel is specified through --channel-content or --channel-content-from-file, and additional flags are supplied, the flags will override the given channel's settings.

For information about the JSON/YAML format of a notification channel: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/ref_v3/rest/v3/projects.notificationChannels

Additional documentation can for this operation can be found at: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/alerts/using-channels-api

EXAMPLES
The following commands setup both email and SMS notification channels for the team lead. Note that the display name and description focus on the purpose/semantics of the channel rather than its destination. This is a best-practice that facilitates swapping/updating notification channels in-place (such as when users change teams, projects, roles, companies, etc.) with minimal impact to the alerting policies that reference the existing channels. It is also a best practice to supply at least two channels of different types for a given person. 
gcloud beta monitoring channels create --display-name="Foo Team Lead (Primary)" --description="Primary contact method for the Foo team lead" --type=email --user-labels=team=foo,role=lead,ord=1 --channel-labels=email_address=user@somedomain.tld

gcloud beta monitoring channels create --display-name="Foo Team Lead (Secondary)" --description="Secondary contact method for the Foo team lead" --type=sms --user-labels=team=foo,role=lead,ord=2 --channel-labels=number=123-456-7890
FLAGS
At most one of these can be specified:
--channel-content=CHANNEL_CONTENT
The channel-content as a string. In either JSON or YAML format.
--channel-content-from-file=PATH_TO_FILE
The path to a JSON or YAML file containing the channel-content. Use a full or relative path to a local file containing the value of channel_content.
Notification channel settings
--channel-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

--description=DESCRIPTION

--display-name=DISPLAY_NAME
The display name for the channel.
--enabled
Whether notifications are forwarded to the described channel. Enabled by default, use --no-enabled to disable.
--type=TYPE

--user-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

If the channel was given as a JSON/YAML object from a string or file, this flag will replace the labels value in the given channel.
