Google Cloud Storage

Overview

This section guides you through configuring and running the integration between Google Cloud Storage (GCS) and NCP.

By following these steps, you'll enable NCP to:

• Connect to GCS buckets to retrieve syslogs and flow logs data

• Index and structure cloud-stored content for fast, contextual access

• Enable users to query GCS-hosted data directly via NCP’s chat interface

• Improve operational insights through real-time and historical cloud data

Prerequisites

Before setting up the integration, ensure the following components are ready:

• GCS Bucket: An existing bucket containing relevant files or data

• Service Account Key: A JSON key file for a Google Cloud service account with at least Storage Object Viewer permissions for the target bucket

• Bucket Name: The name of the GCS bucket to be integrated with NCP

Configure Google Cloud Storage as a Data Source in NCP

To integrate GCS with NCP:

1. Log in to the NCP GUI

2. Navigate to Settings → Data Sources → Google Cloud Storage

   
3. Click Add Configuration

4. Fill in the following fields:

   • Name: A friendly name for this integration (e.g., GCS-Network-Logs)

   • Bucket Name: The name of your GCS bucket

   • Service Account Key: Upload the JSON key file for your GCP service account

     
5. Click Save to complete the setup
