Integrate Google Cloud with Oomnitza to gain detailed visibility of Google Cloud instances across multiple zones and projects. This integration syncs vital information about each instance, including host name, instance ID and name, boot disk, start and stop timestamps, project details, as well as VM status and zone.
This integration offers the flexibility to specify multiple Project IDs, enabling thorough aggregation of instances across various projects. Additionally, there is no need to manually specify individual zones. The integration automatically includes data from all zones within the selected projects, using the Aggregated List API.
Use Oomnitza workflows to complete actions in Google Cloud such as such as, starting, and stopping, resetting, and getting Google Cloud Platform instances. Create workflows to automate complex tasks and business processes. Surface key information in operational dashboards and create scheduled reports to share knowledge with your colleagues.
