Creating a Service Account

To configure the Management Pack for Google Cloud Platform, you must create a service account in Google Cloud Platform and download the private key as a JSON file. To create the service account, you must have the Service Account Admin role (roles/iam.serviceAccountAdmin) or the Editor primitive role (roles/editor). For read-only access, the service account requires the project level viewer role (Viewer - primitive role on GCP).
To monitor the Google Cloud Platform account using this Management Pack, activate the following APIs:
  • BigQuery API
  • Compute Engine API
  • Cloud Storage and Google Cloud Storage JSON API
  • Kubernetes Engine API
  • Stackdriver Monitoring API (The Stackdriver monitoring API (monitoring.googleapis.com) is required to monitor time-series metric data).
To activate these APIs:
  1. In the Cloud Console, navigate to
    APIs & Services
     for your project.
  2. In the
    Library
     page, search for the above APIs.
  3. Select the Service API you want to activate.
  4. Click
    Enable
    .
When the APIs are activated and the service account has the correct set of roles and associated permissions, this Management Pack can retrieve Google Cloud Platform data. When creating a service account, you must select a Google Cloud Platform project as Google Cloud Platform does not allow the service account to belong directly under the Google Cloud Platform Organization.
  1. In the Cloud Console, navigate to
    IAM & Admin
    Service Accounts Management

    .
  3. In the
    Service account name
     text box, enter a name.

    Project > Owner
     or select the required services in read-only (as a viewer).

    Save
