Monitor Google Cloud Compute Engine Virtualization Platform
This source has been deprecated
observIQ is in the process of transitioning a subset of BindPlane's monitoring capabilities to the observIQ OpenTelemetry Collector. As a result, this Source is no longer publicly available in BindPlane. If you need access to this Source, please reach out to our support via chat or via [email protected].
Not Included in the BindPlane with Google Cloud Monitoring offering
All of the Google Cloud Platform sources listed within this documentation are not included with the BindPlane with Google Cloud Monitoring offering.
For more information on how to use the below LPU and other Google Cloud Data Collection setup. See the Google Cloud Platform Sources
Least Privileged User
A user role with the following permissions is required. This is based on a combination of monitoring viewer and compute viewer Roles.
Deploying a Least Privileged User
To learn more about how to deploy a role with these permissions to a GCP Organization, or a GCP Project, please refer to this documentation:
