Script to clean disk on GCP

I have an alert in Stackdriver for when disk usage is above 90%. Is it possible to create a script that cleans a specific folder whenever this alert is raised?

TL;DR: Not advisable to do so.

Is always a better idea to properly manage the data on your VM. You can use logrotate to get rid of old logs.

If you really really want execute a script when an alert is triggered, you can use a Webhook and tool like Hookdoo so when Stackdriver triggers an alert, it will call Hookdoo (installed) on your VM and can configure Hookdoo to delete some files on your VM.
