Google Cloud Storage

This Integration is part of the Google Cloud Storage Pack.#

Use the Google Cloud Storage integration to manage files, buckets, bucket objects, and bucket policies.

This integration was integrated and tested with API version v1 of Google Cloud Storage.

Detailed Description

Create a Service Account:

  1. Go to the Google documentation and follow the procedure in the Creating a Service Account section. After you create a service account, a Service Account Private Key file is downloaded. You will need this file in step 3.
  2. Grant the Storage Admin permission to the Service Account to enable the Service Account to perform all Google Storage API commands.
  3. In Cortex XSOAR, configure an instance of the Google Cloud Storage integration. For the Service Account Private Key parameter, copy the JSON contents of the file you downloaded in step 1.

Configure Google Cloud Storage on Cortex XSOAR

  1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Servers & Services .
  2. Search for Google Cloud Storage.
  3. Click Add instance to create and configure a new integration instance.
    • Name : a textual name for the integration instance.
    • Service Account Private Key file contents (JSON)
    • Optional: Use system proxy settings
    • Optional: Trust any certificate (not secure)
  1. Click Test to validate the new instance.

Commands

You can execute these commands from the Cortex XSOAR CLI, as part of an automation, or in a playbook. After you successfully execute a command, a DBot message appears in the War Room with the command details.
