Setting up events for Google Provider in ManageIQ

(Note: much of this was taken from this public document: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/export/configure_export)

Summary

Events can be setup on a per-project basis by using Google Stackdriver Logging combined with Google Pub/Sub. Stackdriver logging is a service that aggregates and exposes log events from various other Google services and applications. This document describes how to export activity log entries for a Google project to Google Pub/Sub, a messaging service.

Prerequisites

  1. You must have owner permission on the project you are exporting
  2. You must have enabled the Google Cloud Pub/Sub API for your project. You can enable the API via the following steps:
  3. Visit the API Library
  4. Search for "Pub/Sub" and click on the Google Cloud Pub/Sub API
  5. Click the Enable API button at the top of the screen
  6. The Stackdriver logging service must have permission to publish to your project’s Pub/Sub service. You can add permissions via the following steps:
  7. Navigate to the Permissions page in the Cloud Platform Console. If prompted, select your project.
  8. If account cloud-logs@system.gserviceaccount.com is already listed, then change its permission from Can view to Can edit.
  9. If the account is not listed, then select Add Member: 1. Enter cloud-logs@system.gserviceaccount.com in the Email box 2. Select Can Edit under Permission 3. Select Add

Instructions

You can setup exporting events for your Google project via the following steps:

  1. Go to the Logs Viewer and select a project
  2. Select the Exports tab at the left of the Logs Viewer screen. You should see something like this on the panel: Before changes
  3. In the Select service dropdown, select Compute Engine.
  4. In the Export these sources section, select Add item. Make sure compute.googleapis.com/activity_log is selected.
  5. In the Select export destinations section, select the Publish to Cloud Pub/Sub topic dropdown and choose Add new topic...
  6. When prompted for a topic name, enter the name manageiq-activity-log
  7. Confirm your panel looks like the panel pictured below: After changes
  8. Click Save.

You’re finished! Now whenever changes occur to Compute Engine instances, ManageIQ will be notified and update its model appropriately.
