Connect Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Without Breaking the Audit Trail

Use this guide to connect Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or confirm the export-based path that fits your environment. Aurora keeps source, timestamps, ownership, and collection history attached so the first run becomes reusable proof instead of one-off setup work.

First-Run Checklist

Use this sequence to connect Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and make sure the first collection lands cleanly.

  1. 1
    Create a service account and grant required roles in each project (or at folder/org scope for centralized management).
  2. 2
    Provide service_account_json. Optionally provide project_ids to restrict scope (CSV or list).
  3. 3
    Validate by listing projects and checking Cloud Logging exclusions.

Credentials and Secrets

Recommended Access

Aurora only asks for the minimum read access needed for collection and checks.

Access requirements depend on the collection mode and scope you choose.
