# Creating a trigger for budgets that invokes a container from Serverless Containers

Create a [trigger for budgets](../concepts/trigger/budget-trigger.md) that invokes a [container](../concepts/container.md) from Serverless Containers when threshold values are exceeded.

## Getting started {#before-you-begin}

To create a trigger, you will need:

* Container the trigger will invoke. If you do not have a container:

    * [Create a container](create.md).
    * [Create a container revision](manage-revision.md#create).

* Optionally, a [dead-letter queue](../concepts/dlq.md) for unprocessed messages from the container. If you do not have a queue, [create one](../../message-queue/operations/message-queue-new-queue.md).

* [Service account](../../iam/concepts/users/service-accounts.md) with permissions to invoke the container 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](../../iam/operations/sa/create.md).

* Budget for which a trigger will fire in case it is exceeded. If you do not have a budget, [create one](../../billing/operations/budgets.md).

## Creating a trigger {#trigger-create}

{% note info %}

The trigger is initiated within five minutes after it is created.

- Management console {#console}

    1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), select the folder where you want to create a trigger.

    1. Navigate to **Serverless Containers**.

    1. In the left-hand panel, select ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/gear-play.svg) **Triggers**.

    1. Click **Create trigger**.

    1. Under **Basic settings**:

       * Enter a name and description for the trigger.
       * In the **Type** field, select `Budget`.
       * In the **Launched resource** field, select `Container`.

    1. Under **Budget settings**, select your billing account and budget. You can select **Any budget**.

    1. Under **Container settings**, select a container and specify a [service account](../../iam/concepts/users/service-accounts.md) that will invoke it.

    1. Optionally, under **Repeat request settings**:

        * In the **Interval** field, specify the time to wait before retrying the container invocation 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 invocation retries before the trigger moves a message to the dead-letter queue. The values may range from 1 to 5. The default value is 1.

    1. Optionally, under **Dead Letter Queue settings**, select a dead-letter queue and a service account with write permissions for that queue.

    1. Click **Create trigger**.

- CLI {#cli}

    If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../cli/quickstart.md#install).

    The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) 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 container, run this command:

    ```bash
    yc serverless trigger create billing-budget \
      --name <trigger_name> \
      --billing-account-id <billing_account_ID> \
      --budget-id <budget_ID> \
      --invoke-container-id <container_ID> \
      --invoke-container-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-container-id`: Container ID.
    * `--invoke-container-service-account-id`: ID of the service account with permissions to invoke the container.
    * `--retry-attempts`: Number of invocation retries before the trigger moves 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 container invocation 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.

    Result:

    ```text
    id: a1sfe084v4h2********
    folder_id: b1g88tflruh2********
    created_at: "2019-12-04T08:45:31.131391Z"

    status: ACTIVE
    ```

- API {#api}

  To create a trigger for budgets, use the [create](../triggers/api-ref/Trigger/create.md) REST API method for the [Trigger](../triggers/api-ref/Trigger/index.md) resource or the [TriggerService/Create](../triggers/api-ref/grpc/Trigger/create.md) gRPC API call.

## Checking the result {#check-result}

Check that the trigger works correctly. To do this, view [container logs](../concepts/logs.md) that show information on invocations.
