To connect to your Google Workspace logs with SpectX:
- Create a service account in Google Cloud Console and enable it to access the Google Workspace Admin API. Step-by-step instructions for configuring access to Google Workspace.

4.1 Right-click on a folder in the resource tree, pick Upload
4.2 Click upload zip archive or single file
4.3 Navigate to and choose the query pack .zip file
- Point the query examples to your Google Workspace datastore
5.1 Right-click on your Google Workspace datastore, pick Properties
and copy the URI of the datastore
5.2 Open the gsuite/view/view_default.sx query of the query pack with SpectX

5.4 Open and run other queries from the query pack.
