Re: Sharing google workspace audit log with GCP

Benlinux · 07-15-2024 09:50 AM

Hello experts,

I create a new Google workspace (GW) 14 free days trial using a domain name purchased, and also created a free GCP account. I want to forward my workspace audit logs to my GCP. I read this document https://support.google.com/a/answer/9320190 on how to forward the GW audit logs. My question is how will I specify the GCP account created because the steps described in this document do not state how to specify my GCP account.

More information my GCP account organization name is abc.com, and the domain used to set the google workspace is xzy.com. ( Please note this is not real domain names)

What do you mean by saying that ? Mentioned article says, that you must use your SUPER ADMIN workspace user ( it means that you must login to admin.google.com by using super admin ( user used to create Google Workspace) and follow steps.

Hello DamianS,

Thanks for your reply. I have configured the Google workspace to forward audit logs to GCP (using the Admin account), I still can't see any audit logs in my GCP via Log explorer.

On my GCP, I have "no organization" in my gcp, i only see a list of projects name My First Project. I created and deleted a user, and i was expecting these activities to be seen in my GCP instance, but i don't see these activities. please see screen shots below.

I will appreciate any help here.

Did you've tried to contact Billing Support or Workspace Support? It looks like you have issue with your payment option.

Hello DamianS,

Thanks for your feedback, I have used my card and my gmail account, and it worked (resulting to having "No organization" in my GCP), with this, I can't send Google workspace audit logs to my GCP. I want to assume because they are on different domains.
I am disappointed that I can't create a GCP account with a domain that was verified by google via my Google workspace. I least expect this from big name like Google.

Just for you to be aware, I have used four different dollar cards, yet the same issue users have faced as mentioned in this link. This is the first time I am using Google cloud platform, and I am facing this. (I am dissatisfied).

I wish this never happened 😞

Thanks. Bye
