# Google Cloud Filestore

## Overview{% #overview %}

Google Cloud Filestore is a managed file storage service for applications that require a filesystem interface and a shared filesystem for data.

Use the Datadog Google Cloud Platform integration to collect metrics from Google Cloud Filestore.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

If you haven't already, set up the [Google Cloud Platform integration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/google-cloud-platform/) first. There are no other installation steps.

### Log collection{% #log-collection %}

Google Cloud Filestore logs are collected with Google Cloud Logging and sent to a Dataflow job through a Cloud Pub/Sub topic. If you haven't already, [set up logging with the Datadog Dataflow template](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/google-cloud-platform/#log-collection).

Once this is done, export your Google Cloud Filestore logs from Google Cloud Logging to the Pub/Sub topic:

1. Go to the [Google Cloud Logging page](https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/viewer) and filter the Google Cloud Filestore logs.
1. Click **Create Export** and name the sink.
1. Choose "Cloud Pub/Sub" as the destination and select the Pub/Sub topic that was created for that purpose. **Note**: The Pub/Sub topic can be located in a different project.
1. Click **Create** and wait for the confirmation message to show up.
