Add Accounts for Google Cloud Collectors

For ease of setup, you can use your Google service account across one or more Google Cloud Collectors. For example, you could use the same account across the GCP Pub/Sub Cloud Collectors.

  1. Set up your service account in the relative Google service.

    Follow the instructions in the Google documentation to set up the service account. For example, for Google Pub/Sub, follow this workflow to set up the account:

    1. To create a service account in the project in which the Pub/Sub subscription has been created, in the Google Cloud console, navigate to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts > CREATE SERVICE ACCOUNT page.

    2. Select a Cloud project if you already created a project or create a new Cloud project.

    3. Enter the project name and edit the automatically generated project ID.

      Note the project ID for later use. You will need the project ID while configuring the GCP Pub/Sub Cloud Collector.

    4. Create service account. For more information see, Create service accounts in Google Cloud documentation.

  2. Set up a shareable account for the Google service in Cloud Collectors.

    1. Log in to the Exabeam Security Operations Platform with your registered credentials as an administrator.

    2. Navigate to Collectors > Cloud Collectors.

    3. Click Accounts, then click New Account.

      • VENDOR – Select the vendor as Google.

      • NAME – Specify a name for the Google account.

      • AUTHENTICATION – The authentication type is set to Service Account by default.

      • SERVICE CREDENTIALS JSON – Enter the JSON key created for the service account. Ensure the JSON is valid and no additional whitespace or characters are entered.

    5. Click Save.

    6. Proceed to Onboard Cloud Collectors to configure your Google Cloud Collector, such as GCP Pub/Sub Cloud Collector.

      When you onboard new collectors for Google services, you must select the Google account. You can reuse credentials between different Google collectors provided that you have the required permissions configured for the collector.
