## Connect in three steps

1. **Mint a read-only credential in Google Cloud Logging.** Create a dedicated user or token that can only read. Every tool in the server reads the Logging API; there is no write mode to disable.
2. **Add it in the Triagic portal.** Integrations, then Add shared data source, then Google Cloud Logging. Fill in: Project ID (required): The project whose logs you want, and the project API usage is billed to. Needs the Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring APIs enabled.
3. **Let a desktop pick it up.** Saving validates the shape of what you typed. The first desktop app to sync starts Google Cloud Logging locally and reports running or degraded with the error text.

## FAQ

**Can Triagic change anything in Google Cloud Logging?**
No. Every tool in the server reads the Logging API; there is no write mode to disable. Give it a read-only credential as well, so the guarantee does not rest on one layer.

**What do I need to connect Google Cloud Logging?**
Project ID. The desktop app on a member's machine starts the connection; the portal never holds a live process.

**Does Google Cloud Logging cost extra?**
No. Every connector is included in the seat price. Start a 14-day trial without a card.
