Google Chronicle

Use Google Chronicle steps in Torq to access assets, run searches, and automate your security investigations.

Updated yesterday

Google Chronicle is a cloud-native SIEM platform that helps organizations detect, investigate, and respond to security threats by ingesting and analyzing large amounts of security data in real-time.

Torq enables quick and easy integration with Google Chronicle, so you can automate anything and everything within moments. Torq's public Google Chronicle steps include:

  • Get Event

  • Get Log

  • List Assets

  • List IOCs

  • Run UDM search

  • +6 more...

If you don't see a step you need, you can create your own in various ways, such as using the Send an HTTP Request step or Torq’s Step Builder, and share it across your organization.
