Security

Security is a top priority. Masthead agent does not query data in Data Warehouse, it uses CDC logs produced by transactions executed in it.
During the installation process next resources are created under your Google Cloud:
  • Pub/Sub topic masthead-topic and subscription masthead-agent-subscription
  • Logs Router with included filter, which automatically publishes to Pub/Sub topic masthead-topic
  • To get metadata of BigQuery schema and its tables and views, the installation script creates masthead_bq_schema_reader custom role with next permissions:
bigquery.datasets.get
bigquery.tables.get
bigquery.tables.list
  • Binds Masthead Service account to PubSub and newly created custom role. So Masthead Service Account has next roles granted to it:
masthead_bq_schema_reader
Pub/Sub Subscriber
For the On-Prem Deployment, in addition to the above-mentioned resources, Masthead Agent is deployed into your Google Cloud.
