Generating inventory of GCP resources

Question

I need to generate inventory for all my GCP resources. For this I can go through each of the components like VPC, Compute Engines, IAM and generate the inventory manually. I am looking for some tool like gcloud or using automation software like terraform/ansible to generate the inventory. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use Cloud Asset Inventory for this.

Here is a link to the quickstart guide.

My Cloud Shell was already properly configured so I only had to run:

gcloud beta asset search-all-resources

Enable the API if asked when running the above command.

Answer 2

As answered by @Erhard Czving, to list all assets use

  `gcloud beta asset search-all-resources`

If we want to list all VPCs , then

 gcloud beta asset search-all-resources --asset-types compute.googleapis.com/Network

To list all SubNetworks

 gcloud beta asset search-all-resources --asset-types compute.googleapis.com/Subnetwork

To list all ComputeInstances

gcloud beta asset search-all-resources --asset-types compute.googleapis.com/Instance

To export it to CloudStorage

 gcloud beta asset export --project=<Project-ID> --output-path "gs://invent12/test"

List of all supported asset-ids can be found here

GCP has introduced the CLI to extract details of all resources in the project. You can further customize this to get details from all projects in the organization.
