The Configuration Options section of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Setup page defines how BlueCat Configurations are created in Address Manager upon import of GCP infrastructure data.
GCP Configuration Options settings
To access these options, in the CDV banner, click GCP, then click the Setup tab and scroll down to Configuration Options.
The Configuration Options section of the AWS Setup page has the following settings.
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|---|
| BlueCat Configuration |
Enter the name of the configuration that will be created in Address Manager that contains the GCP infrastructure information. Attention: The configuration name must not contain the
forward slash (
/) character as this can cause
issues with the discovery and visibility of cloud
resources.Note: If you do not specify a configuration name, Discovery &
Visibility GCP creates configurations in Address Manager based
on the GCP Project name and structure.

Create overlapping configuration settings
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Create Overlapping Configuration |
Select this checkbox to automatically create additional BAM Configurations for networks that overlap with those from different Discovery jobs within the same project. By default, this option is selected. If cleared, CDV will mark all overlapping Configurations and their resources as DROPPED, and they will not be imported into BAM. If an overlapping network is resolved in the cloud, resources in overlapping configurations will be imported back into the general BAM Configuration. Note: When performing discovery on Google Kubernetes Engines
(GKEs), resource information about GKEs (and internal
Kubernetes resources within GKEs) are always dropped
if they are associated with an overlapping network.
CAUTION: Regardless of the whether or not this
checkbox is selected, overlapping networks will still be
dropped under the following circumstances: When two
discovery jobs are executed in consecutive order with the
same Address Manager Configuration name, and they are
discovering VPCs in those two different projects. When this
occurs, in the Discovery Management table (on the Management
tab), CDV displays an exclamation icon appears next to the
"Completed" status of the discovery job, indicating that
VPCs have been dropped.
