--- title: Connect with a New Relic service account source: https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/google-cloud-platform-integrations/get-started/install-and-configure/connect-gcp-service-account --- With this connection method, New Relic calls your GCP project APIs using a New Relic-managed service account ID and its associated public/private key pair. You don't need to create or manage the service account or its private key — just add the service account ID as a member with viewing permissions in your project. New Relic collects tags and other attributes whenever possible using this method. > #### 💡 TIP > > You can use Terraform to automate the process of enabling cloud integrations. Read how in the [Terraform official documentation site](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/newrelic/newrelic/latest/docs/guides/cloud_integrations_guide). ## Requirements [#reqs] Before you connect, ensure the following: | Requirement | Details | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Monitoring | In the GCP project **API & Services Library** settings, you must enable **Google Stackdriver Monitoring API**. | | Authorization | You need a user with the **Project IAM Admin** role to add the service account ID to your GCP project. Before you add it, select **Fetch data** in the New Relic onboarding wizard to verify authorization. In **IAM & admin**, assign the service account the **Viewer** and **Service Usage Consumer** roles, or a [custom role](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/integrations/google-cloud-platform-integrations/get-started/integrations-custom-roles). | | Project name | As part of the [online setup process](#connect), you must identify the `Project name` of the projects you want to monitor with New Relic. The UI workflow automatically lists active projects you can select. | If your organization uses a domain restriction constraint, update the policy to allow New Relic. For the identifiers to allow, see [Domain restriction constraints](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/google-cloud-platform-integrations/get-started/integrations-custom-roles#domain-restrictions). ## Connect GCP to New Relic [#connect] > #### ⚠️ IMPORTANT > > If this is your first time setting up GCP with New Relic, ensure that you've enabled Cloud Monitoring API for your project. You can do this in the [Google Cloud console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/monitoring.googleapis.com/). To connect your Google Cloud project to New Relic with service account authorization: 1. Go to **[one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > GCP**. On the **Google Cloud Services** integrations page, select **Add a GCP account**. 2. **Choose Authorization Method**: Select **Authorize a Service Account**, and follow the instructions in the UI to authorize New Relic. 3. **Add projects:** Select the projects that you want New Relic to receive data from. 4. **Select services:** From the list of available services for your GCP account, select the individual services you want New Relic to receive data from, or select all of the services. > #### 💡 TIP > > These services are enabled for **all** of the projects that you selected in the previous step. Once the setup process is finished, you can fine-tune the services that you want monitored for each project individually. 5. To complete the setup process, select **Finish**. If you see API authentication errors, follow the [troubleshooting procedures](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/google-cloud-platform-integrations/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-gcp-integrations). New resources may take a few minutes to be detected and synthesized as entities. For more information, see Cloud integrations [system limits](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/data-apis/manage-data/view-system-limits). ## View your GCP data [#find-data] After you connect, New Relic starts monitoring your GCP data at regular [polling intervals](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/google-cloud-platform-integrations/get-started/view-your-data/polling-intervals-gcp-integrations), and your data appears in the New Relic UI after a few minutes. To learn how to view, query, and explore it — including dashboards, alerts, and entities — see [View and query your GCP data](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/google-cloud-platform-integrations/get-started/view-your-data/view-and-query-your-gcp-data). ## Link multiple Google projects [#connect-multiple] The setup process lets you select more than one project at a time. After the first setup, to monitor additional GCP projects with New Relic, repeat the procedure to [connect your GCP services](#connect) as many times as you need. ## Disable or unlink your GCP integrations [#disconnect] You can disable any integrations any time and still keep your Google project connected to New Relic. ### Disable one or more GCP services [#disable-services] To disable services while keeping your GCP account linked to New Relic: 1. Go to **[one.newrelic.com > All capabilities](https://one.newrelic.com/all-capabilities) > Infrastructure > GCP > Manage services**. 2. From your **Edit GCP account** page, clear the checkbox for each active service you want to disable. 3. Save your changes. ### Disconnect and unlink your account [#unlink-account] To completely disconnect from New Relic, unlink your GCP account. This disables all New Relic integrations associated with it. If you delete a custom role, note that the role might serve purposes beyond New Relic access. For a **custom user role**: 1. Sign in to New Relic and go to **Infrastructure > Integrations > Google Cloud Platform**. 2. Go to **IAM > admin > Roles**, search for the role, select it, and select **DELETE**. For a **standard (non-custom) user role**: 1. Sign in to New Relic and go to **Infrastructure > Integrations > Google Cloud Platform**. 2. Select **Manage services** for the account you want to remove. Copy the value of **User** and save it. 3. Sign in to [Google Cloud](https://console.cloud.google.com/) and select the correct project in the **Select a project** box. 4. From the navigation menu, select **IAM & admin > IAM**. 5. Search for and select the user value you saved, then select **REMOVE**. ### Clean up GCP after unlinking [#clean-up] To clean your GCP project after unlinking: 1. Open the GCP IAM Console. 2. Select the project you want to unlink from New Relic and select **Open**. 3. Select the service account used by New Relic. 4. Select the **Remove** icon.
