# GCE Network Host [discovery-gce-network-host]
When the `discovery-gce` plugin is installed, the following are also allowed as valid network host settings:
| GCE Host Value | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `_gce:privateIp:X_` | The private IP address of the machine for a given network interface. |
| `_gce:hostname_` | The hostname of the machine. |
| `_gce_` | Same as `_gce:privateIp:0_` (recommended). |
Examples:
```yaml
# get the IP address from network interface 1
network.host: _gce:privateIp:1_
# Using GCE internal hostname
network.host: _gce:hostname_
# shortcut for _gce:privateIp:0_ (recommended)
network.host: _gce_
```
