Cloud Monitoring provides Cloud Run performance monitoring, metrics, and uptime checks, along with alerts to send notifications when certain metric thresholds are exceeded. Google Cloud Observability pricing applies, which means there is no charge for metrics on the fully managed version of Cloud Run.
Cloud Run incidents are published to Personalized Service Health. You should consider setting up alerts on Personalized Service Health events.
