pip install gcp-notifier

Or, to test the latest version from TestPyPI:

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ gcp-notifier

Or, for local development:

pip install .

Or add to your requirements.txt (recommended for PyPI):

gcp-notifier

For development versions from GitHub (not recommended for production):

gcp_notifier @ git+https://github.com/marcellusmontilla/gcp_notifier.git

Quick Start

1. Install the package (see Installation above).

2. The account (personal or service) running this code must have the 'Secret Manager Secret Accessor' role in your GCP project.

3. The required secrets must be in the same GCP project where your Python script or notebook is running.

4. Add your required secrets to Google Secret Manager in your GCP project:

   • GCHAT_WEBHOOK_URL (for Google Chat)
   • EMAIL_SENDER (sender email address for Email)
   • EMAIL_PASSWORD (password or app password for sender)
   • EMAIL_RECIPIENTS (comma-separated list of recipient email addresses)

5. Import and use notify in your code as shown below.

Usage

Import and use in your Python code:

from gcp_notifier import notify, notify_on_failure

# Send a notification (choose channels: "email", "gchat", or both)
notify(
  subject="Alert Subject",
  body="Alert body text",
  channels=["email", "gchat"]  # or ["email"] or ["gchat"]
)

# Use as tenacity retry_error_callback
from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt

@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3), retry_error_callback=notify_on_failure)
def always_fails():
  # This function will always fail, triggering notify_on_failure after retries
  raise ValueError("This is a test error for notification.")

always_fails()
