Google Cloud Discovery: Possible without Organization and Folder set-up in Google Cloud?

[Robin J_]

Hi Community!
I am trying to do some Discovery of Google Cloud without luck. 

I have reviewed and ensured what is mentioned here is ok: https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1516673

I get the error: "provided account id is neither a gcp folder nor a gcp project pattern name: google cloud platform (gcp) - validate service account"

I have checked the Pattern Debugger and do notice that the variable "folder_res" never get's populated and is just empty. My hypothesis of why this does not work...

I see that ServiceNow tries first the endpoint: "https://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/v3/folders/" + folderIDValue" or this one as an fallback "https://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/v2/folders/" + folderIDValue "

Since no Folder can be set-up in Google Cloud without Organization from my understanding (not a Google Cloud Expert), then it is no wonder why this fails as it explicitly tried an "/folder" endpoint...  

For this Google Cloud it is only set-up "Projects". 

Do anyone know this or have any experience with this?

Kind Regards,
Robin J 😊

@Robin J_ folder is not needed. Are you giving a valid Google cloud project name? that's what is expected - you can see here. Google Cloud Platform discovery (servicenow.com)

Thanks for confirmation 🙂 It also was a hardened mid-server here so it could not reach googleapis.com on port 443 so we must open a firewall here... so issue much more basic than I first thought 🙂
