  2. Log in to the New-Scale Security Operations Platform with your registered credentials as an administrator.

    • NAME – Specify a name for the Cloud Collector instance.

    • ACCOUNT – Click New Account to add a new service account. You can use this account information for use across one or more Google Workspace Cloud Collectors. For more information, see Add Accounts for Google Cloud Collectors in Shareable Service Accounts.

    • ADMIN USERNAME – Enter the administrator's user name.

    • Data Sources – Select the data source user from which you want to collect user profile data.

    • INGEST FROM – Select the time and date from which the collector must start ingesting events. If you leave this field blank and do not provide a threshold, all logs are ingested.

  7. (Optional) SITE – Select an existing site or to create a new site with a unique ID, click manage your sites. Adding a site name helps you to ensure efficient management of environments with overlapping IP addresses.

    By entering a site name, you associate the logs with a specific independent site. A sitename metadata field is automatically added to all the events that are going to be ingested via this collector. For more information about Site Management, see Define a Unique Site Name.

  8. (Optional) TIMEZONE – Select a time zone applicable to you for accurate detections and event monitoring.

    By entering a time zone, you override the default log time zone. A timezone metadata field is automatically added to all events ingested through this collector.

    A cloud collector determines whether Daylight Saving Time (DST) is active based on the current date and automatically adjusts the time by adding or subtracting one hour, ensuring more accurate time reporting.

  9. To confirm that the New-Scale Security Operations Platform communicates with the service, click Test Connection. 

  10. Click Install.
