What do I do after my environments is being harvested?

What do I do after my environments is being harvested?

After at least one GCP account is harvested by InsightCloudSec, you're free to configure additional GCP services as necessary to enhance, optimize, or further secure your experience. Review GCP Additional Configuration for more information.

How can I optimize harvesting?

How can I optimize harvesting?

InsightCloudSec harvesting is the term we use to describe the process of data collection from a selected cloud service provider (CSP) within InsightCloudSec. Check out our Harvesting Overview documentation to understand the basics and refer to Harvesting Strategies for details on specific strategies.

In addition, for GCP, InsightCloudSec offers Event-Driven Harvesting, which requires additional configuration but optimizes harvesting by only pulling in new data based on real-time notifications about resource and policy changes using a Cloud Asset Inventory feed, which triggers targeted harvesting using Pub/Sub. Review our GCP Event-Driven Harvesting documentation for more information.

Manage GCP Cloud Accounts

After initial configuration of the account in GCP, you can add the account to InsightCloudSec. In InsightCloudSec, you onboard a cloud account or organization using the onboarding wizard. Review Onboard an GCP Cloud Account or Onboard an GCP Organization for details.

Once an account is successfully being harvested by InsightCloudSec, it can be modified or deleted as necessary.
