Our Google Cloud Storage Connector receives Collector data sent to your configured Google Cloud Storage bucket. In order to take advantage of this Connector you will need the following information:

IMPORTANT:

During configuration our Connector setup process writes a temporary file to confirm GCS access then deletes it. You will see a message that setup was successful. If you receive a failure message, review access rights and ensure they have read/write access.

As an example, these permissions will work, however you may decide to use a more restrictive set:

Service Account User
Storage Object Admin

Project ID - GCS Project ID.
Bucket Name - name of the GCS bucket.
Service Account JSON - as defined here: Service Account JSON.
Output Format
- JSON Array - One JSON document where records live inside a single [...] array (e.g., [{...},{...}]).
- JSON Line - (JSONL/NDJSON) One JSON object per line, newline-delimited, so each line is its own record (e.g., {...}\n{...}\n).
Object Output Structure
- For example, your_object_path/$year/$month/$day/$hour/ will result in a nested directory structure by year/month/day/hour.
Timestamp Type
- Server - The Datazoom platform timestamp (default setting)
- Client - The uncorrected timestamp observed on the client
- Client Corrected - The client timestamp corrected to align with NTP
