Getting Started

Connect BigQuery

VectorData needs permission to read table last-modified style metadata and job statistics. It does not need SELECT on your business rows.

Steps

1. Create a service account
In Google Cloud IAM, create a dedicated service account for Vectornosis (for example vectornosis-monitor@PROJECT.iam).
2. Grant least privilege
Grant roles that allow reading dataset/table metadata and job statistics for the projects you monitor. Avoid roles that imply unrestricted row access.
3. Provide the key securely
Download a JSON key only if your setup flow requires it, store it in your password manager, and paste it into the VectorData connect wizard at /start. Rotate keys if shared by mistake.
4. Name tables to watch
Start with the few marts behind leadership dashboards. Add breadth after the morning queue is calm.
