Code sample

Go

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"io"

	securitycenter "cloud.google.com/go/securitycenter/apiv1"
	securitycenterpb "google.golang.org/genproto/googleapis/cloud/securitycenter/v1"
)

// createSource creates a new source for organization orgID. orgID is
// the numeric identifier of the organization
func createSource(w io.Writer, orgID string) error {
	// orgID := "12321311"
	// Instantiate a context and a security service client to make API calls.
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := securitycenter.NewClient(ctx)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("securitycenter.NewClient: %v", err)
	}
	defer client.Close() // Closing the client safely cleans up background resources.

	req := &securitycenterpb.CreateSourceRequest{
		Source: &securitycenterpb.Source{
			DisplayName: "Customized Display Name",
			Description: "A new custom source that does X",
		},
		Parent: fmt.Sprintf("organizations/%s", orgID),
	}
	source, err := client.CreateSource(ctx, req)
	if err != nil {
		return fmt.Errorf("CreateSource: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Fprintf(w, "New source created: %s\n", source.Name)
	fmt.Fprintf(w, "Display Name: %s\n", source.DisplayName)
	return nil
}

Node.js

// Imports the Google Cloud client library.
const {SecurityCenterClient} = require('@google-cloud/security-center');

// Creates a new client.
const client = new SecurityCenterClient();
// organizationId is numeric organization identifier.
/*
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment the following lines
 */
// const organizationId = "1234567777";
async function createSource() {
  const [source] = await client.createSource({
    source: {
      displayName: 'Customized Display Name',
      description: 'A new custom source that does X',
    },
    parent: client.organizationPath(organizationId),
  });
  console.log('New Source: %j', source);
}
createSource();

Python

from google.cloud import securitycenter

client = securitycenter.SecurityCenterClient()
# organization_id is the numeric ID of the organization. e.g.:
# organization_id = "111122222444"
org_name = "organizations/{org_id}".format(org_id=organization_id)

created = client.create_source(
    request={
        "parent": org_name,
        "source": {
            "display_name": "Customized Display Name",
            "description": "A new custom source that does X",
        },
    }
)
print("Created Source: {}".format(created.name))
