[New Relic integrations](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/introduction-infra-monitoring) with the [Google Cloud Platform (GCP)](https://cloud.google.com/) include one that reports [Google Firebase Storage](https://firebase.google.com/products/storage) data to New Relic. This document explains how to activate the GCP Firebase Storage integration and describes the data it reports.

## Features

Firebase Storage is Google Cloud's object storage service for user-generated content in Firebase applications, backed by Cloud Storage buckets. New Relic Firebase Storage integration collects the Firebase Storage security-rule evaluation metric for each bucket.

## Activate integration [#activate]

To enable the integration, follow standard procedures to [connect your GCP service to New Relic](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/connect-google-cloud-platform-services-infrastructure):

-   [Connect with Workload Identity Federation (recommended)](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/connect-google-cloud-platform-services-infrastructure)
-   [Connect with service account or user account](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/connect-google-cloud-platform-services-infrastructure)

## Polling frequency [#polling]

New Relic integrations query your GCP services according to a polling interval that varies by integration. The polling frequency for Google Firebase Storage is 5 minutes. The resolution is 1 data point every minute.

### Find and use data [#find-data-wif]

After you enable the integration, your Firebase Storage buckets appear as entities in the New Relic entity explorer. To see dashboards and manage services, go to [one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > GCP.

All Firebase Storage metrics available in GCP Cloud Monitoring are collected as dimensional metrics in the `Metric` event type. See [Google's Firebase Storage metrics documentation](https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics_gcp_d_h#gcp-firebasestorage) for the complete list.

#### Entities

**Firebase Storage entities**

| Entity | Entity type                | Resource type |
| ------ | -------------------------- | ------------- |
| Bucket | `GCPFIREBASESTORAGEBUCKET` | `gcs_bucket`  |

### Metric data [#metrics-wif]

#### Key metrics — Bucket

| Metric name                                  | Unit  | Description                                                                                                      |
| -------------------------------------------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `gcp.firebasestorage.rules.evaluation_count` | Count | Number of Firebase Storage Security Rule evaluations performed against the bucket, faceted by evaluation result. |

For the complete list of Firebase Storage metrics, see [Google's Firebase Storage metrics documentation](https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/api/metrics_gcp_d_h#gcp-firebasestorage).

## Service account or user account [#service-account]

### Find and use data [#find-data]

To find your integration data, go to [one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > GCP and select an integration.

Data is attached to the following [event type](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/understand-data/new-relic-data-types/#event-data):

| Entity | Event Type                       | Provider                   |
| ------ | -------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Bucket | `GcpFirebasestorageBucketSample` | `GcpFirebasestorageBucket` |

## Metric data [#metrics]

This integration collects GCP Firebase Storage data for Bucket.
