Creating a trigger for budgets that invokes Cloud Functions
Create a trigger for budgets that invokes Cloud Functions when threshold values are exceeded.
Getting started
To create a trigger, you will need:
-
Function the trigger will invoke. If you do not have a function:
-
Optionally, a dead-letter queue where to redirect the messages the function failed to process. If you do not have a queue, create one.
-
Service accounts with permissions to invoke the function and, optionally, write to the dead letter queue. You can use the same service account or different ones. If you do not have a service account, create one.
- Budget for which a trigger will fire in case it is exceeded. If you do not have a budget, create one.
Creating a trigger
Note
The trigger is initiated within five minutes after it is created.
-
In the management console
, select the folder where you want to create your trigger. -
Navigate
to Cloud Functions. -
In the left-hand panel, select
Triggers. -
Click Create trigger.
-
Under Basic settings:
-
Enter a name and description for the trigger.
-
In the Labels field, click Add label and specify the labels in
key: valueformat. -
In the Type field, select
Budget.
-
-
Under Budget settings, select your billing account and budget. You can select Any budget.
-
Under Targets:
-
In the Target type field, select
Function. -
Under Function settings, select a function and specify:
- Function version tag.
- Service account to use for invoking the function.
-
Optionally, under Repeat request settings:
- In the Interval field, specify how long to wait before retrying the function if it fails. The values may range from 10 to 60 seconds. The default value is 10 seconds.
- In the Number of attempts field, specify the number of function retries before the trigger sends a message to the dead letter queue. The values may range from 1 to 5. The default value is 1.
-
Optionally, under Dead Letter Queue settings, select a dead-letter queue and a service account with write permissions for that queue.
-
Optionally, in the Filter field, specify a jq template to filter events sent to the target. If no filter is specified, all events are sent to the target.
-
Optionally, in the Transformation template field, specify a
jqtemplate to transform events before sending them to the target. If no template is specified, no transformations apply to the events.
-
-
Click Create trigger.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.
The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id.
If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.
To create a trigger that invokes a function, run this command:
yc serverless trigger create billing-budget \
--name <trigger_name> \
--billing-account-id <billing_account_ID> \
--budget-id <budget_ID> \
--invoke-function-id <function_ID> \
--invoke-function-service-account-id <service_account_ID> \
--retry-attempts 1 \
--retry-interval 10s \
--dlq-queue-id <dead-letter_queue_ID> \
--dlq-service-account-id <service_account_ID>
Where:
--name: Trigger name.--billing-account-id: Billing account ID.--budget-id: Budget ID.
--invoke-function-id: Function ID.--invoke-function-service-account-id: ID of the service account with permissions to invoke the function.--retry-attempts: Number of invocation retries before the trigger sends a message to the dead-letter queue. This is an optional setting. The values may range from 1 to 5. The default value is 1.--retry-interval: Time to wait before retrying the function if it fails. This is an optional setting. The values may range from 10 to 60 seconds. The default value is 10 seconds.--dlq-queue-id: Dead-letter queue ID. This is an optional setting.--dlq-service-account-id: ID of the service account with write permissions for the dead-letter queue. This is an optional setting.

To create trigger for budgets to invoke a function:
-
Describe the trigger in the configuration file:
resource "yandex_serverless_triggers" "my_trigger" { name = "<trigger_name>" source { billing_budget { billing_account_id = "<billing_account_ID>" budget_id = "<budget_ID>" } } action { invoke_function { function_id = "<function_ID>" service_account_id = "<service_account_ID>" } retry_policy { retry_attempts = "<number_of_retries>" interval = "<interval_between_retries>" } dead_letter { dead_letter_queue { queue_arn = "<Dead_Letter_Queue_ARN>" service_account_id = "<service_account_ID>" } } } }Where:
-
name: Trigger name. The name format is as follows:- Length: between 3 and 63 characters.
- It can only contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
- It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.
-
description: Trigger description. This is an optional parameter. -
labels: Trigger labels inkey:valueformat. This is an optional parameter.
-
source: Event source settings:-
billing_budget: Budget settings:billing_account_id: Billing account ID.budget_id: Budget ID. This is an optional parameter. If not specified, the trigger will fire for any budget in the billing account.
-
-
action: Target settings. You can specify this section multiple times so that the trigger calls multiple resources, including those of different types. There are limits on the maximum number of resources.-
invoke_function: Function settings:function_id: Function ID.function_tag: Function version tag. This is an optional parameter. If it is not specified, the latest version of the function is called.service_account_id: ID of the service account with permissions to invoke the function.
-
filter: Filtering events before sending them to the target. This is an optional section.jq: jq template to filter events sent to the target. It not specified, all events reach the target.
-
transformer: Transforming events before sending them to the target. This is an optional section.jq: jq template to transform events before sending them to the target. It omitted, no transformations apply to the events.
-
retry_policy: Repeated request settings. This is an optional section.interval: Time interval before a retry attempt to send the event if the current attempt fails.retry_attempts: Number of retry attempts before the trigger moves the event to the dead-letter queue.
-
dead_letter: Dead-letter queue settings. This is an optional section.-
dead_letter_queue: Queue settings:queue_arn: Queue ARN.service_account_id: ID of the service account with permissions to write to the queue.message_attributes: Attributes to add to each message in the queue, inkey:valueformat. This is an optional parameter.

yandex_serverless_triggersresource, see this provider guide. -
-
Create the resources:
-
In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.
-
Make sure the configuration is correct using this command:
terraform validateIf the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
Success! The configuration is valid. -
Run this command:
terraform planYou will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.
-
Apply the configuration changes:
terraform apply -
Type
yesand press Enter to confirm the changes.
Terraform will create all the required resources. You can check the new resources using the management console
or this CLI command:yc serverless trigger list -
To create a trigger for budgets, use the create REST API method for the Trigger resource or the TriggerService/Create gRPC API call.
Checking the result
Check that the trigger works correctly. To do this, view function logs that show information on invocations.
