GSL LOGIC

AlertPolicy where conditions contain [ conditionThreshold.logName] and enabled='true' should have conditions contain [ getResource('LogBasedMetric',conditionThreshold.logName)  getValue('filter') ='resource.type=gcs_bucket AND protoPayload.methodName="storage.setIamPermissions"']

REMEDIATION

From Portal
Create the prescribed Log Metric:

Go to Logging/Logs-based Metrics by visiting https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/metrics and click "CREATE METRIC".
Select Metric Type as Counter, enter Log metric name and Units to 1.
Clear any text and add:

resource.type=gcs_bucket AND protoPayload.methodName="storage.setIamPermissions"

Click CREATE METRIC. The logs display based on the filter text entered by the user.

Create the prescribed alert policy:

Identify the newly created metric under the section User-defined Metrics at https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/metrics.
Click the 3-dot icon in the rightmost column for the new metric and select 'Create alert from Metric'. A new page appears.
Fill out the alert policy configuration and click Save. Choose the alerting threshold and configuration that makes sense for the user's organization. For example, a threshold of zero(0) for the most recent value will ensure that a notification is triggered for every owner change in the user's project:
Configure the desired notification channels in the section Notifications.
Name the policy and click Save.

From Command Line

Create the prescribed log metric. Reference for command usage: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/beta/logging/metrics/create
use the command:

gcloud beta logging metrics create METRIC_NAME --description="DESCRIPTION" --log-filter="LOG_FILTER"

You can find the notification channel ID using:

gcloud alpha monitoring channels list --filter='displayName="channel_name"' --format='value(name)'

Create the prescribed alert policy.Reference for command usage: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/alpha/monitoring/policies/create

Create a json file with required properties and values for the policy(try creating a policy from console and then download it's json to have a reference) and use the command:

gcloud alpha monitoring policies create --policy-from-file="policyfile.json"

From TF

Create log based metric with expected filter
Create an alerting policy with type 'metric' based on the previous created log based metric.

Resources;
google_logging_metric
google_monitoring_alert_policy

See below example;

resource "google_logging_metric" "my_log_metrics" {
	project = "My-project-id"
	name = "my-(custom)/metric"
	filter = "resource.type=gcs_bucket AND protoPayload.methodName=\"storage.setIamPermissions\""
	description = "..."
	metric_descriptor {
		metric_kind = "DELTA"
		value_type  = "INT64"
	}
}

And

resource "google_monitoring_alert_policy" "alert_policy" {
	project = "My-project-id"
	display_name = "My Alert Policy"
	combiner = "OR"
	conditions {
		display_name = "test condition"
		condition_threshold {
			filter = "metric.type=\"logging.googleapis.com/user/my-(custom)/metric\" AND resource.type=\"cloud_composer_environment\""
			duration   = "0s"
			comparison = "COMPARISON_GT"
		}
	}
}
