Step-by-step walkthrough for setting up the GCP integration manually. Read the Overview first to understand how telemetry flows and the costs, then work through the steps below in order.
Enable the required APIs and create a GCP service account with least-privilege IAM roles for metrics and logs.
Fill in Account Name, Deployment Project ID, Deployment Region, and Projects to Monitor, then connect the account.
Run the OpenTelemetry Collector in your deployment project (Cloud Run, or any compute that can reach the Monitoring API).
Configure the googlecloudmonitoring receiver to scrape Cloud Monitoring metrics across your monitored projects.
Create a Pub/Sub topic, a push subscription, and a log sink per project to send Cloud Logging logs to the Collector.
Connection fields
Step 2 asks for four values. Keep them handy, since later steps refer back to them.
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Account Name | A label to identify this integration in SigNoz, for example production. |
| Deployment Project ID | The project where you deploy the Collector and, for logs, the Pub/Sub topic. |
| Deployment Region | The region the Cloud Run Collector runs in. |
| Projects to Monitor | The project IDs whose metrics and logs you want in SigNoz. |
