--- title: Google Cloud Pub/Sub Connector slug: manufacturing-connect-edge/google-cloud-pubsub-connector docTags: createdAt: 2023-12-01T19:36:46.067Z --- Review the [Google Cloud Pub/Sub Integration Guide](docId:-JIOC-Br1R93089p-13i1). ## Overview Google Cloud Pub/Sub integration enables an Edge System to connect with Google Cloud Pub/Sub. ## Supported Communication - Outbound (Publish data from Edge to Google Cloud Pub/Sub) - Yes - Inbound (Subscribe to data from Google Cloud Pub/Sub to Edge ) - Yes ## Configurations | **Variable** | **Detail** | **Required** | | -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | | Name | Enter a name for the connector. | Yes | | Service account key | Service account key is a JSON or P12 file containing authentication credentials for programmatic access to Google services.
You have the option to use Workload Identity Federation authorization in the service-account key file. See [Configuring Workload Identity Federation Authorization](docId\:lbp47ysLPMUWTTX2lK4aR) to learn more. | Yes | | Project id | Project id is a unique identifier for a specific project within the Google Cloud Platform ecosystem. | Yes | | Private key | Private Key ID is a unique identifier associated with a service account's private key, used for authentication and access control in Google services. | No | | Client email | Client Email is an email address associated with a service account in a Google Cloud project, used for authentication and access to resources. | No | | Default topic | The default topic for publishing. | Yes | | Show custom attributes | If enabled, custom attributes are key-value pairs that allow you to attach additional metadata to messages in a Google Cloud Pub/Sub topic for custom processing and filtering. | No | | Parallel publish count | Parallel publish count refers to the number of concurrent message publishing operations that can be performed simultaneously using the Google Cloud Pub/Sub service, enhancing message throughput. | Yes | | Parallel byte threshold | Parallel byte threshold is the configurable limit on the size of the data payload for a batch of messages that determines when parallel publishing of messages is triggered in Google Cloud Pub/Sub for optimized data transfer. | No | | Publish count threshold | Publish count threshold is the set limit on the number of messages in a batch that triggers publishing to Google Cloud Pub/Sub, optimizing message delivery. | No | | Publish delay threshold (Milliseconds) | Publish delay threshold (Milliseconds) is the specified time interval after which accumulated messages are automatically published to Google Cloud Pub/Sub to control message delivery latency. | No | | Throttling limit | Set a limit on the number of outbound messages per second. If sending data to a server that has restrictions on the rate of incoming messages, this ensures that no messages are lost. | No | | Persistent storage | If enabled, messages in the outbound queue are stored on disk. If there are interruptions in connection or power loss, messages will be retained and eventually sent when the connection is restored. | No | | Queue mode | Select the sequence of data transfer: FIFO or LIFO. Selecting FIFO (First In First Out) will send the earliest message first. Selecting LIFO (Last In First Out) will send the latest message first. | No |
