Do any of the following:

  • Add a new connector: click Add icon (add icon), then click the name of the connector.

Description

Optional description.

Pull Interval

(Default 30 seconds.) Interval at which IP mappings are retrieved from AWS.

The minimum value for Pull Interval is 1 second. You can set the maximum to any value you want. We recommend against setting the minimum to a low value because it can generate a lot of traffic, and, when applicable, can result in your being billed for the traffic.

GCP region

(Required.) Enter the GCP region in which your Google Cloud is located. For more information, see Regions and Zones in the Google Cloud documentation.

Service account

Paste the JSON code for your Google Cloud service account.

Step 6

Click Save.

Make sure Ok is displayed in the Status column.
