This collector lets you build, deploy and scale applications, websites, and services on the same infrastructure as Google. It also provides the possibility to integrate the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with the Devo platform making it easy to query and analyze GCP event data. You can view it in the pre-configures Activeboards or you can customize it.

Devo’s GPC GCP collector also enables to retrieve data stored in the GPC GCP via Google Cloud APIs such as audit logs, Security Command Center findings, networking, load balance, and more available via Pub/Sub into Devo to query, correlate, analyze and visualize to enable Enterprise IT and Cybersecurity teams to take the most impactful decisions at the petabyte scale.

Info

The diagram is only an example to the GPC GCP services. There are many more GCP services.

The Logging service has different ways of exporting the information stored and structured in messages. In this case, it’s being used by another GPC GCP service called PubSub, basically, this service will contain a topic object that will receive a filtered set of messages from the Logging service, then the GPC GCP collector will retrieve all those messages from the topic object using a subscription (in the pull mode).
