Create a google cloud connector

Create a Google Cloud connector to enable data transmission from your Google Cloud environment to the firewall for dynamic security attribute monitoring and management.

The Google Cloud connector allows the firewall to receive real-time data from your Google Cloud infrastructure, enabling dynamic security policies based on cloud resource attributes.

Before you begin

Have your Google Cloud JSON-formatted service account data ready; it's required to set up the connector.

Follow these steps to create a Google Cloud connector:

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Click Firewall.

Step 3

Click Administration > Dynamic Attributes Connector > Connectors.

Step 4

Do any of the following:

Add a new connector: click Add icon (), then click the name of the connector.
Edit a connector: click Edit icon ().
Delete a connector: click Delete icon ().

Step 5

Enter the following information.


Value	Description
Name	(Required.) Enter a name to uniquely identify this connector.
Description	Optional description.
Pull Interval	(Default 30 seconds.) Interval at which IP mappings are retrieved from AWS. The minimum value for Pull Interval is 1 second. You can set the maximum to any value you want. We recommend against setting the minimum to a low value because it can generate a lot of traffic, and, when applicable, can result in your being billed for the traffic.
GCP region	(Required.) Enter the GCP region in which your Google Cloud is located. For more information, see Regions and Zones in the Google Cloud documentation.
Service account	Paste the JSON code for your Google Cloud service account.

Click Test and make sure the test succeeds before you save the connector.
Click Save.

The Status column displays Ok.
