evaluating workloads using Workload Manager.
Notifications are disabled for the first evaluation in a project
When you create the first evaluation in a Google Cloud project
using Workload Manager, you might notice that the event notification
checkboxes are disabled in the Notifications section. You can also see
the following message:
Selection unavailable until metrics exist in the current project.
This issue occurs because the Workload Manager service account does not
have the required permissions to send metrics to Cloud Monitoring in the
project from where you run the evaluation.
If you're creating the first evaluation in a project, then create the evaluation
without event notifications. If you have at least one evaluation in the project,
then do the following:
Authorize the Workload Manager service account to send metrics to your project.
In the navigation panel of the Google Cloud console,
click IAM & Admin and then select IAM:
