  • Test your credentials before proceeding with the integration:

      # Replace with your actual values 
     ACCOUNT_ID 
     = 
     "your-account-id" 
     # Replace underscores with hyphens in the account ID for the URL 
     # For example: 1234567_SB1 becomes 1234567-sb1 
     URL_ACCOUNT_ID 
     = 
     $( 
     echo 
      
     " 
     $ACCOUNT_ID 
     " 
      
     | 
      
    tr  
     '_' 
      
     '-' 
      
     | 
      
    tr  
     '[:upper:]' 
      
     '[:lower:]' 
     ) 
     CONSUMER_KEY 
     = 
     "your-consumer-key" 
     CONSUMER_SECRET 
     = 
     "your-consumer-secret" 
     TOKEN_ID 
     = 
     "your-token-id" 
     TOKEN_SECRET 
     = 
     "your-token-secret" 
     # Test SuiteQL API access using OAuth 1.0 TBA 
     # Note: This example requires the oauth1 CLI tool or Postman. 
     # Use the following endpoint and headers to verify connectivity: 
     # POST https://${URL_ACCOUNT_ID}.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/services/rest/query/v1/suiteql?limit=5 
     # Headers: 
     #   Authorization: OAuth (with consumer key, token, HMAC-SHA256 signature) 
     #   Content-Type: application/json 
     #   Prefer: transient 
     # Body: {"q": "SELECT id, date, status, user, emailaddress FROM LoginAudit ORDER BY date DESC"}

Create Cloud Scheduler job

Cloud Scheduler will publish messages to the Pub/Sub topic at regular intervals, triggering the Cloud Run function.

  1. In the GCP Console, go to Cloud Scheduler.
  2. Click Create Job.
  3. Provide the following configuration details:

    Setting Value
    Name netsuite-audit-collector-hourly
    Region Select same region as Cloud Run function
    Frequency 0 * * * * (every hour, on the hour)
    Timezone Select timezone (UTC recommended)
    Target type Pub/Sub
    Topic Select netsuite-audit-trigger
    Message body {} (empty JSON object)
  4. Click Create.

Schedule frequency options

Choose frequency based on log volume and latency requirements:

Frequency Cron Expression Use Case
Every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * * High-volume, low-latency
Every 15 minutes
*/15 * * * * Medium volume
Every hour
0 * * * * Standard (recommended)
Every 6 hours
0 */6 * * * Low volume, batch processing
Daily
0 0 * * * Historical data collection

Test the integration

  1. In the Cloud Schedulerconsole, find your job ( netsuite-audit-collector-hourly ).
  2. Click Force runto trigger the job manually.
  3. Wait a few seconds.
  4. Go to Cloud Run > Services.
  5. Click on netsuite-audit-collector .
  6. Click the Logstab.
  7. Verify the function executed successfully. Look for:

     Fetching logs from YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00 to YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00
    Page 1: Retrieved X records
    Wrote X records to gs://netsuite-audit-logs/netsuite-audit/netsuite_audit_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.ndjson
    Successfully processed X records 
    
  8. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.

  9. Click on netsuite-audit-logs .

  10. Navigate to the netsuite-audit/ folder.

  11. Verify that a new .ndjson file was created with the current timestamp.

If you see errors in the logs:

  • HTTP 401: Verify the OAuth credentials ( NS_CONSUMER_KEY , NS_CONSUMER_SECRET , NS_TOKEN_ID , NS_TOKEN_SECRET ) and NS_ACCOUNT_ID environment variables are correct
  • HTTP 403: Verify the NetSuite role has the required permissions (REST Web Services, Login Audit Trail, SuiteAnalytics Workbook)
  • HTTP 429: Rate limiting — the function will automatically retry with exponential backoff
  • Missing environment variables: Verify all required variables are set in the Cloud Run function configuration
  1. Go to SIEM Settings > Feeds.
  2. Click Add New Feed.
  3. Click Configure a single feed.
  4. In the Feed namefield, enter a name for the feed (for example, NetSuite Audit Logs ).
  5. Select Google Cloud Storage V2as the Source type.
  6. Select Oracle NetSuite - NetSuite Applications Suiteas the Log type.
  7. Click Get Service Account. A unique service account email will be displayed. For example:

     chronicle-12345678@chronicle-gcp-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com 
    
  8. Copy this email address for use in the next step.

  9. Click Next.

  10. Specify values for the following input parameters:

    • Storage bucket URL: Enter the GCS bucket URI with the prefix path:

       gs://netsuite-audit-logs/netsuite-audit/ 
      
    • Source deletion option: Select the deletion option according to your preference:
      • Never: Never deletes any files after transfers (recommended for testing).
      • Delete transferred files: Deletes files after successful transfer.
      • Delete transferred files and empty directories: Deletes files and empty directories after successful transfer.
    • Maximum File Age: Include files modified in the last number of days (default is 180 days)
    • Asset namespace: The asset namespace
    • Ingestion labels: The label to be applied to the events from this feed
  11. Click Next.

  12. Review your new feed configuration in the Finalizescreen, and then click Submit.

The Google SecOps service account needs Storage Object Viewerrole on your GCS bucket.

  1. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  2. Click on netsuite-audit-logs .
  3. Go to the Permissionstab.
  4. Click Grant access.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Add principals: Paste the Google SecOps service account email
    • Assign roles: Select Storage Object Viewer
  6. Click Save.

NetSuite API rate limits

NetSuite API has the following concurrency and rate limits:

Limit Type Default Value Notes
Concurrent requests
15 requests Applies to combined SOAP and REST API requests per account
SuiteQL query results
100,000 rows maximum Maximum rows returned per SuiteQL query
Objects per request
1,000 objects maximum Maximum objects returned per API request

The Cloud Run function automatically handles rate limiting with exponential backoff. If you encounter persistent rate limit errors (HTTP 429), contact NetSuite support to increase your API limits or adjust the Cloud Scheduler frequency.
