Set up BigQuery Intelligence

Before you begin

BigQuery Intelligence needs specific permissions at the organization level. See BigQuery Intelligence permissions for details.

Set up BigQuery Intelligence

To set up BigQuery Intelligence:

1. Connect your Google Cloud Organization to the platform. Make sure to allow service account impersonation when configuring identities for DoiT workloads.

2. Update your service account to grant the permissions required by BigQuery Intelligence. If you have workloads on BigQuery editions, also grant the permissions for BigQuery Intelligence Editions.

   BigQuery Intelligence Insights permissions allow Insights to generate actionable recommendations about your BigQuery usage. They do not directly relate to the BigQuery Intelligence setup and can be enabled later.

   Note

   In the current implementation, BigQuery Intelligence works with a single service account. If you grant permissions to multiple service accounts, BigQuery Intelligence works only for the first one.

Once set up, the BigQuery Intelligence will backfill historical data for the last 30 days and start gathering information about your Google Cloud BigQuery usage patterns. It can take up to 24 hours to fully populate the BigQuery Intelligence dashboard with statistics and recommendations.

BigQuery Intelligence runs queries in the Google Cloud billing project of the Google Cloud account you have connected to Cloud Intelligence, to build dashboard data and to support Cloud Analytics reports that use the BigQuery Intelligence data source. Query duration and cost depend on your BigQuery audit log volume, selected time range, filters, and compute model (on-demand or reservations).
