Google Workspace Gmail Collector

A simple application for collecting Gmail logs from your Google Workspace account and producing the events to Kafka topic. The app is designed to work continuously inside a container.

To be able to collect logs, you first need to set up Gmail logging in BigQuery. Gmail logs store records for each stage of a message in the Gmail delivery process.

The app makes SQL-like queries to the BigQuery dataset with Gmail logs at 60-second intervals and retrieves newly created entries.

Usage

Declare environment variables and run:

docker build --tag gws-gmail . \
  && docker run --rm \
       -e KAFKA_SERVERS=$KAFKA_SERVERS \
       -e KAFKA_TOPIC=$KAFKA_TOPIC \
       --name gws-gmail \
       gws-gmail

Variables:

  • KAFKA_SERVERS is an initial list of brokers as a CSV list of brokers in format host1:9092,host2:9092,host3:9092
  • KAFKA_TOPIC is a name of Kafka topic

Files:

  • app/keyfile.json contains Google Cloud service account key
  • app/kafka-ca.pem contains Kafka CA certificate for verifying the broker's key
  • app/producer-gws-gmail.pem contains Kafka client's public and private keys

Authorization

GCP service account with roles BigQuery Data Viewer and BigQuery User is required to access the BigQuery dataset.
