Configure the module
editIn order for Filebeat to ingest data from the Google Reports API you must:
- Have an administrator account, as described here.
- Set up a ServiceAccount using the administrator account.
- Set up access to the Admin SDK API for the ServiceAccount.
- Enable Domain-Wide Delegation for your ServiceAccount.
This module will make use of the following oauth2 scope:
-
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.reports.audit.readonly
Once you have downloaded your service account credentials as a JSON file, you can set up your module:
