Receive events using Cloud Audit Logs (gcloud CLI)
This quickstart shows you how to receive events from Cloud Storage in an unauthenticated Cloud Run service using Eventarc.
You can complete this quickstart using the Google Cloud CLI. For instructions using the console, see Create a trigger using the Google Cloud console.
In this quickstart, you:
Create a Cloud Storage bucket to be the event source.
Deploy an event receiver service to Cloud Run.
Create an event trigger.
Generate an event by uploading a file to the Cloud Storage bucket, and view it in the Cloud Run logs.

If you are the project creator, you are granted the basic Owner role (
roles/owner
). By default, this Identity and Access Management (IAM) role includes the permissions necessary for full access to most Google Cloud resources and you can skip this step.If you are not the project creator, required permissions must be granted on the project to the appropriate principal. For example, a principal can be a Google Account (for end users) or a service account (for applications and compute workloads). For more information, see the Roles and permissions page for your event destination.
Note that by default, Cloud Build permissions include permissions to upload and download Artifact Registry artifacts.
Required permissions
To get the permissions that you need to complete this tutorial, ask your administrator to grant you the following IAM roles on your project:
-
Cloud Build Editor (
roles/cloudbuild.builds.editor
) -
Cloud Run Admin (
roles/run.admin
) -
Eventarc Admin (
roles/eventarc.admin
) -
Logs View Accessor (
roles/logging.viewAccessor
) -
Project IAM Admin (
roles/resourcemanager.projectIamAdmin
) -
Service Account Admin (
roles/iam.serviceAccountAdmin
) -
Service Account User (
roles/iam.serviceAccountUser
) -
Service Usage Admin (
roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin
) -
Storage Admin (
roles/storage.admin
)
For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.
You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.
-
Cloud Build Editor (
- Enable Cloud Audit Logs Admin Read, Data Read, and Data Write
Log Types in Google Cloud Storage.
Note that at the project level, you need the
roles/owner
Identity and Access Management role to configure Data Access audit logs for your Google Cloud resources.- Read your project's IAM policy and store it in a file:
gcloud projects get-iam-policy PROJECT_ID > /tmp/policy.yaml
- Edit your policy in
/tmp/policy.yaml
, adding or changing only the Data Access audit logs configuration.auditConfigs: - auditLogConfigs: - logType: ADMIN_READ - logType: DATA_WRITE - logType: DATA_READ service: storage.googleapis.com
- Write your new IAM policy:
gcloud projects set-iam-policy PROJECT_ID /tmp/policy.yaml
If the preceding command reports a conflict with another change, then repeat these steps, starting with reading the project's IAM policy.
- Read your project's IAM policy and store it in a file:
Make note of the Compute Engine default service account as you will you attach it to an Eventarc trigger to represent the identity of the trigger for testing purposes. This service account is automatically created after enabling or using a Google Cloud service that uses Compute Engine, and with the following email format:
PROJECT_NUMBER-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com
Replace
PROJECT_NUMBER
with your Google Cloud project number. You can find your project number on the Welcome page of the Google Cloud console or by running the following command:gcloud projects describe PROJECT_ID --format='value(projectNumber)'
For production environments, we strongly recommend creating a new service account and granting it one or more IAM roles that contain the minimum permissions required and follow the principle of least privilege.
- Grant the
Eventarc
Event Receiver role (
roles/eventarc.eventReceiver
) on the project to the Compute Engine default service account so that the Eventarc trigger can receive events from event providers.gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding PROJECT_ID \ --member=serviceAccount:PROJECT_NUMBER-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com \ --role=roles/eventarc.eventReceiver
- If you enabled the Cloud Pub/Sub service agent on or before April
8, 2021, to support authenticated Pub/Sub push requests, grant
the Service
Account Token Creator role (
roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator
) to the service agent. Otherwise, this role is granted by default:gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding PROJECT_ID \ --member=serviceAccount:service-PROJECT_NUMBER@gcp-sa-pubsub.iam.gserviceaccount.com \ --role=roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator
- Download and install the Git source code management tool.
Create an Artifact Registry standard repository
Create an Artifact Registry standard repository to store your container image:gcloud artifacts repositories create REPOSITORY \ --repository-format=docker \ --location=$REGION
Replace REPOSITORY
with a unique name for the
repository.
Create a Cloud Storage bucket
This quickstart uses Cloud Storage as the event source. To create a storage bucket:
gsutil mb -l ${REGION} gs://events-quickstart-PROJECT_ID/
After the event source is created, you can deploy the event receiver service on Cloud Run.
Deploy the event receiver service to Cloud Run
Deploy a Cloud Run service that receives and logs events. To deploy the sample event receiver service:
Clone the GitHub repository:
Go
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/golang-samples.git cd golang-samples/eventarc/audit_storage
Java
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples.git cd java-docs-samples/eventarc/audit-storage
.NET
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/dotnet-docs-samples.git cd dotnet-docs-samples/eventarc/audit-storage
Node.js
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/nodejs-docs-samples.git cd nodejs-docs-samples/eventarc/audit-storage
Python
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples.git cd python-docs-samples/eventarc/audit-storage
Build the container and upload it to Cloud Build:
gcloud builds submit --tag $REGION-docker.pkg.dev/PROJECT_ID/REPOSITORY/helloworld-events:v1
Deploy the container image to Cloud Run:
gcloud run deploy helloworld-events \ --image $REGION-docker.pkg.dev/PROJECT_ID/REPOSITORY/helloworld-events:v1 \ --allow-unauthenticated
When the deployment succeeds, the command line displays the service URL.
Now that you have deployed your event receiver service called
helloworld-events
to Cloud Run, you can set up your trigger.
Create an Eventarc trigger
The Eventarc trigger will send events from the Cloud Storage
bucket to the helloworld-events
Cloud Run service.
Create a trigger that filters Cloud Storage events and that uses the Google Cloud project Compute Engine default service account:
gcloud eventarc triggers create events-quickstart-trigger \ --destination-run-service=helloworld-events \ --destination-run-region=${REGION} \ --event-filters="type=google.cloud.audit.log.v1.written" \ --event-filters="serviceName=storage.googleapis.com" \ --event-filters="methodName=storage.objects.create" \ --service-account=
PROJECT_NUMBER
-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.comThis creates a trigger called
events-quickstart-trigger
.Note that when creating an Eventarc trigger for the first time in a Google Cloud project, there might be a delay in provisioning the Eventarc service agent. This issue can usually be resolved by attempting to create the trigger again. For more information, see Permission denied errors.
To confirm
events-quickstart-trigger
was successfully created, run:gcloud eventarc triggers list --location=${REGION}
The
events-quickstart-trigger
is listed with a destination that is the Cloud Run service,helloworld-events
.
Generate and view an event
To generate an event, upload a text file to Cloud Storage:
echo "Hello World" > random.txt gsutil cp random.txt gs://events-quickstart-PROJECT_ID/random.txt
The upload generates an event and the Cloud Run service logs the event's message.
To view the event-related log entries created by your service, run the following command:
gcloud logging read 'textPayload: "Detected change in Cloud Storage bucket"'
Look for a log entry similar to:
Detected change in Cloud Storage bucket: storage.googleapis.com/projects/_/buckets/BUCKET_NAME/objects/random.txt
where
BUCKET_NAME
is the name of the Cloud Storage bucket.
You have successfully deployed an event receiver service to Cloud Run, created an Eventarc trigger, generated an event from Cloud Storage, and viewed it in the Cloud Run logs.
Clean up
While Cloud Run does not charge when the service is not in use, you might still be charged for storing the container image in Artifact Registry, storing files in your Cloud Storage bucket, and Eventarc resources.You can:
Alternatively, you can delete your Google Cloud project to avoid incurring charges. Deleting your Google Cloud project stops billing for all the resources used within that project.
Delete a Google Cloud project:
gcloud projects delete PROJECT_ID
