# Configure Service Graph Connector for GCP using SGC Central

Use the playbook available with the SGC Central application to set up the Service Graph Connector for GCP for pulling in GCP project data into the CMDB.

## Before you begin

Install Service Graph Connector for GCP version 1.8.0 or later from the ServiceNow Store. For ServiceNow Store installation steps, see [Install a ServiceNow Store application](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/installing-applications-in-application-manager.md).

## About this task

The playbook experience for onboarding connectors is activated with SGC Central in the Service Graph Workspace or CMDB Workspace. To configure the SGC Central application, see [Configuring SGC Central](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/sgcc-configuring.md) and for more information on how to interact with a playbook, see Interact with Playbook.

## Procedure

1.  Use one of the following methods to open SGC Central:

    -   Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Service Graph Workspace**, and from the left navigation panel, select the Ingestion icon \[Omitted image "icon-sgc-central.png"\] to open the SGC Central view.
    -   Navigate to **Workspaces** > **CMDB Workspace** > **SGC Central**.
2.  On the Overview page, select **Create connection**.

    **Tip:** Alternatively, you can select **Create connection** on the All connections page.

3.  On the Create connection window, select the GCP connector type and then select **Create connection**.

4.  Complete the initial prerequisites when setting up a connection for the first time using a connector.

    **Note:** This step is required only during the first-time setup. See [Perform initial setup tasks when creating a connection in SGC Central](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/sgcc-first-time-setup.md).

5.  Complete the prerequisites for setting up the GCP environment.

    1.  Set up the GCP environment and create a Java KeyStore \(JKS\) certificate to encrypt the security certificates obtained from a GCP application.

        1.  In the **Prerequisites** stage of the playbook, select the **Review setup instructions** activity.
        2.  Select **Service Graph connector for GCP - Setup Instructions** link to view the setup instructions included in the [Service Graph connector for GCP - Setup Instructions \[KB1220598\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB1220598) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.
        3.  Make a note of the destination keystore password. You need to specify this password while importing the JKS certificate into the Service Graph Connector for GCP application.
        4.  Select the **I have read the setup instructions** check box to confirm that you have set up the GCP environment according to the instructions.
        5.  Select **Continue**.
        6.  After completing the **Review setup instructions** activity, select **Continue**.
    2.  Create an X.509 certificate to associate the JKS certificate for the GCP application with the Service Graph Connector for GCP.

        **Note:** You can skip this step if you're reusing an existing certificate by selecting **Skip**.

        1.  In the **Prerequisites** stage of the playbook, select the **Create X.509 certificate** activity.
        2.  Select **New**.
        3.  On the form, fill in the fields.

            |Field|Description|
            |-----|-----------|
            |Name|Name of the X.509 certificate. For example, `SG-GCP-509Certificate-Org1`.|
            |Key store password|Password to access the JKS certificate as noted down in the step [5.a.iii](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/service-graph-connectors/sgcc-configure-gcp-integ.md).|
            |Short description|Description of the X.509 certificate.|

        4.  In the Attachments section, select **Add File** to browse and upload the keystore.p12 file for the JKS certificate you created in step [5.a](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/service-graph-connectors/sgcc-configure-gcp-integ.md).
        5.  Select the **I have read the setup instructions** check box after you have completed the setup.
        6.  After completing the **Create X.509 certificate** activity, select **Continue**.
6.  Download the scripts that are required to enable deep discovery for the Service Graph Connector for GCP.

    1.  In the **Prerequisites** stage of the playbook, select the **Download GCP deep discovery scripts** activity.

    2.  Download the deep discovery scripts for Linux and Windows VMs.

        For more information about deep discovery for the Service Graph Connector for GCP, see the [Service Graph Connector for GCP - Deep Discovery Setup Instructions \[KB2213095\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB2213095) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

    3.  After completing the **Download GCP deep discovery scripts** activity, select **Continue**.

7.  Enter connection details and test the API connection for importing GCP data.

    1.  In the **Setup** stage of the playbook, select the **Create and test connection** activity.

    2.  On the form, fill in the fields.
