Bruin CLI Step 2 of 4

GA4 and Search Console Reporting on BigQuery

1) Set the two dataset names

Everything else is optional on the first run. These are not.

variables:
  ga4_dataset:
    type: string
    default: analytics_123456789        # your GA4 export dataset
  search_console_dataset:
    type: string
    default: searchconsole              # your Search Console export dataset

GA4 names its dataset analytics_<property_id>. Search Console uses whatever you named it when you set the export up. Qualify either with a project - other-project.analytics_123456789 - when the export lives outside the project on the gcp-default connection.

Also set start_date at the top of the file to the later of the two days you enabled the exports. Neither backfills, so an earlier date buys no history:

name: google-web-analytics
schedule: daily
start_date: "2026-01-15"
catchup: false

start_date is the anchor Bruin Cloud uses for scheduled backfills. A local bruin run takes its window from --start-date and --end-date instead.
