Tag your Google Cloud Platform instances
Create dynamic tag rules to tag your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) instances based on GCP metadata as collected by the GCP Connector. For each tag rule you’ll provide a search query with GCP instance information.
It's easy to get started! 1) Click Create Tag, 2) choose Dynamic tag type, 3) choose the Cloud Asset Search tag rule, 4) choose GCP cloud provider and 5) enter your query. Just start typing in the Query field and we’ll show you the GCP attributes you can search.
The syntax is different when writing queries for tag rules than when searching assets in the Assets list. Be sure to follow the syntax tips in the drop-down when writing your query.
Sample queries
