Version
26.1.0

After configuring and running discovery for a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) system, Cloud Discovery & Visibility (CDV) will import GCP infrastructure data into Address Manager.

  • CD&V (Tag group) > GCP (Tag) > GCP Project name (Tag)

    Where "GCP Project name" is the name of the GCP Project where the tagged objects were found.

Attention: If you update the name of a Configuration or View in Address Manager after you run a discovery and visibility operation, CDV will no longer import GCP infrastructure changes into Address Manager. To import infrastructure changes into Address Manager with the changed configuration and view names, you must reconfigure the Schedule manager or Visibility manager for the affected jobs.
Note: In previous versions of CDV, only discovered block, network, and device resources were tagged, and these resources were tagged with the lowest tag of the hierarchy only. CDV 26.1 expands the range of tagged resources to include IP addresses, views, zones, and resource records. Additionally, resources discovered by CDV 26.1 are now tagged with all tags in the hierarchy. CDV 26.1 tags additional cloud resources (IP addresses, views, zones, and resource records) by default. This new tagging behaviour can be disabled using the Tag additional cloud resources panel on the Settings tab. For more information, refer to Configuring additional tagged resources.

Tagged device resources

During discovery and visibility, CDV tags the items it finds: Blocks, networks, IP addresses, views, zones, resource records and device resources like virtual machines, load balancers, private endpoints, and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKS) instances. These appear in Address Manager under the CD&V group, within their GCP Project:
