Firebase

Firebase is a platform developed by Google for creating mobile and web applications. It provides a real-time database, authentication services, and cloud functions.

Before you begin

To begin monitoring Firebase, ensure you have the following components and permissions in place:

• OpenLM components: OpenLM Cloud Broker, approved in Broker Hub.
• Platform-specific Requirements: You'll need administrative access to your Firebase project to generate a service account key with the necessary read permissions for usage and billing data.

Configure data collection

1. Activate API Access: In your Google Cloud Console, create a new Service Account for your Firebase project and generate a JSON key file.
2. Add Credentials: In the OpenLM Cloud Broker dashboard, find the Firebase integration and fill the User Name and Password.
