You can look at the following approach:
- Use Cloud Functions and specifically the Google Cloud Storage Trigger with the default event
google.storage.object.finalize. Check out sample code here. - In the function code, you can pass on relevant file details and use a 3rd party email service like SendGrid, etc to send an email. Check out instructions/code here to send out email: https://cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/how-to-enable-real-time-notifications

Check out this documentation on instructions to send out email via SendGrid. You can take parts of the sample code shown here for your purpose. https://cloud.google.com/security-command-center/docs/how-to-enable-real-time-notifications – Romin Jul 01 '22 at 02:17

@Romin solution will work, you can also have a look to Eventarc and Cloud Run.
However, you can use a hack fully managed by Google Cloud.
Firstly, activate the Cloud Storage Audit Logs (be careful, if you have a lot of activity, it can generate a lot of logs and be costly).
Then, create a log based metrics on the audit logs that mentionned the file creation and with the filter on the file path (you can use the =~ operator for regex filtering)
Finally, create an alert on that metrics, and send an email when the alert is triggered

Hi Guillaume, Can we use Monitoring Alert on customized scripts output files either shell or python which checks the file in storage bucket or we use monitoring alerts only for audit logs – Ram Jun 30 '22 at 16:46

No no, it's a ack to let the system generate an automatic alert on a alert config. You can't configure or customize things, it's a raw and automatic email. – guillaume blaquiere Jun 30 '22 at 20:09
