The Splunk Add-on for Google Cloud Platform allows a Splunk software administrator to collect google cloud platform events, logs, performance metrics and billing data using Google Cloud Platform API. After the Splunk platform indexes the events, you can analyze the data using the prebuilt panels included with the add-on. You can then directly analyze the data or use it as a contextual data feed to correlate with other Google Cloud-related data in the Splunk platform.
