To integrate with Google Cloud Pub/Sub, you will need to add a credential and add a source for the data stream.

📘

Note

This integration has the following limitations:

• Backfilling--Because Pub/Sub does not support backfilling of historic data, this feature may not work as expected in Validio.
• Data sequence--Pub/Sub requires a specific configuration to deliver messages in the correct order. If the message order is not configured properly, it will also impact how Validio receives the data. For more information, see Order messages in Google Cloud Pub/Sub documentation.

Prerequisites for Integrating with Pub/Sub

For Validio to validate your Pub/Sub data stream requires:

• Create a service account in Google Cloud console with the following access and permissions to the specific Pub/Sub stream:
  • roles/pubsub.subscriber to consume messages from a subscription.
  • roles/pubsub.viewer to view topics and subscriptions.
  • For more information, see Access Control with IAM for Pub/Sub and Authenticate to Pub/Sub in Google Cloud documentation.
• Obtain a service account key in JSON file format for your service account. For more information, see Create and delete service account keys in Google Cloud documentation.
