Google Cloud Storage Connector

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
