Introduction

OpsRamp helps you discover, integrate seamlessly and access details of how your Google Cloud services are performing. Google Cloud consists of a set of physical assets, such as computers and hard disk drives, and virtual resources, such as virtual machines (VMs), that are contained in Google’s data centers around the globe. This page explains how to configure integration with Google Cloud Platform.

Prerequisite

The service account created to give access to the Google Cloud resources must at least be assigned the viewer role. For more details on IAM roles, see Google cloud documentation on Understanding roles. To grant a service account access to a project, see Creating and managing service accounts.
