Adding a Source - GCS Cloud Storage
Updated over 7 months ago

If your data is residing in a cloud storage location, you can integrate this source type to securely extract your data from the location.

To begin, select a cloud storage provider, shown below is Google Cloud Service as a cloud storage.


The data from your cloud storage sources is collected via our secure connector integration. After you configure your cloud storage account with your credentials, our platform will extract the data in batches every hour, and transfer it to your secure bunker.


​Setting up Source


Enter your source name

  1. Enter the following details to configure your source setup

    Bucket Name - GCS bucket name in which your data resides is your globally unique namespace shared across GCS accounts in a given bucket region.
    Bucket Region - Bucket region where your bucket resides.
    Key Prefix - The delimiter and prefix combination for your bucket name in case it resides inside folders.

    Example -
    Data source name - Campaign name reference
    Bucket name :- lifesight-bucket
    Key Prefix :- apple-android-symbian
    Bucket region - us-east-1
    GCS Credentials :- lifesight-bucket.json

Credentials - As a prerequisite, you will need to create a Service account in the preferred bucket region above. This is the JSON file that is created when you create a Service account on. You can upload the JSON file with the credentials as is and Lifesight will extract the required information.

Schema Mapping

If your cloud storage is successfully integrated, you will be taken to the schema mapping section where we will require you to map your data to our data schema. To map the attributes, select the drop down menu under “Lifesight Data” and select the respective attribute. You can select the “Primary ID” to indicate the primary identifier that you would like to use. Click “Save” to complete adding the source.
