Use the Datadog Google Cloud Platform integration to collect metrics from Google Cloud Interconnect. ## 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 Interconnect 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 Interconnect 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 Interconnect 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. ## Data Collected{% #data-collected %} ### Metrics{% #metrics %} | | | | | **gcp.interconnect.network.attachment.capacity**(gauge) |
