Hi @splunk24,

Please see full documentation under "User Guide", https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3791/#/details . There is quite a lot it can pull, and suggestions are always welcome.
This is YOUR domain (whatever G Suite Domain it might be. An example is "yahoo.co.in").
You need to obtain a Client ID and Secret from the Developer's console . Follow the Instructions in the User's Guide.
The "Create New Credentials" is used to interact with Splunk's Encrypted Credential Store. Do not do anything there unless you are familiar with the Encrypted Credential Store. You need to Authorize the app, and set up the input. See the extensive documentation.

As mentioned in my email, YOU NEED TO READ THE DOCUMENTATION. If you need further help, try getting on Slack (splk.it/slack) and ping me directly. The setup is not overly complicated, just follow the steps. Thanks!

As per the docs ,
You must have enabled the Google Apps API - Super Admin user will enable it i believe
You must have configured a credential for use with this App - So at console.developers we can have a seperate credentials which we will use for g suite app ? right ?

You must AUTHORIZE this app to make requests into Google Apps APIs. - how to authorize? if it is application configuration only then Google Apps Domain will be our company.com but we want to pull only
email or docs data . there is not a API project as such so what will be the client id and secret?

so i do not need to create new proxy , create new credential

so how splunk will get authorize to see or pull data from g suite?

@splunk24 - I suggest you get your Google Admin in the room. You need a few things.
1) a Google User with Super Admin privs.
2) An API Project from console.developers.google.com with a Client ID and Secret. Generate it. It's right there in the console.
3) Authorize the app - I've provided the workflow on the Application Configuration Page. This is straightforward, input your tokens and domain, click the button, authorize the api calls (check for adblocker), and then put the auth token in the box, and click the button again. Standard OAUTH workflow.
4) Create an Input. Click the checkboxes you want.

Again - THIS DOES NOT PULL EMAIL ANYTHING. That is a cumbersome mess I haven't figured out yet.
Again - this is in the documentation. Have you tried any of this yet? It appears you haven't, so please try any of the steps and then ask more questions based on trial/error that you receive.

and what to be enter here

Enter JavaScript origins, redirect URIs or both

Authorised JavaScript origins
For use with requests from a browser. This is the origin URI of the client application. It cannot contain a wildcard (https://*.example.com) or a path (https://example.com/subdir). If you're using a non-standard port, you must include it in the origin URI.

Authorised redirect URIs
For use with requests from a web server. This is the path in your application that users are redirected to after they have authenticated with Google. The path will be appended with the authorisation code for access. Must have a protocol. Cannot contain URL fragments or relative paths. Cannot be a public IP address.

Once there go through API Project -> APIs & Auth -> Credentials. Create Client ID -> Installed Application - Other.

This is not an option?

HI All - Have a question coming from Audit - Does the data at anytime traverse the app developers cloud instance or any external cloud instance other than google cloud platform ? Anybody has any idea? Thanks in advance !
