Package com.google.cloud.logging (3.10.5)

A client for Cloud Logging - Real-time log management and analysis.

Here's a simple usage example for using google-cloud from Compute Engine/App Engine Flexible. This example shows how to write and list log entries. For the complete source code see WriteAndListLogEntries.java.


 LoggingOptions options = LoggingOptions.getDefaultInstance();
 try(Logging logging = options.getService()) {

   LogEntry firstEntry = LogEntry.newBuilder(StringPayload.of("message"))
       .setLogName("test-log")
       .setResource(MonitoredResource.builder("global")
           .addLabel("project_id", options.getProjectId())
           .build())
       .build();
   logging.write(Collections.singleton(firstEntry));

   Page<LogEntry> entries = logging.listLogEntries(
   EntryListOption.filter("logName=projects/" + options.getProjectId() + "/logs/test-log"));
   Iterator<LogEntry> entryIterator = entries.iterateAll();
   while (entryIterator.hasNext()) {
     System.out.println(entryIterator.next());
   }
 }
 

This second example shows how to use a java.util.logging.Logger to write log entries to Cloud Logging. The snippet installs a Cloud Logging handler using LoggingHandler.addHandler(Logger, LoggingHandler). Notice that this could also be done through the logging.properties file, adding the following line:

 com.google.cloud.examples.logging.snippets.AddLoggingHandler.handlers=com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler
 

For the complete source code see AddLoggingHandler.java.


 Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(AddLoggingHandler.class.getName());
 LoggingHandler.addHandler(logger, new LoggingHandler());
 logger.warning("test warning");

Classes

Context

Class to hold context attributes including information about {@see HttpRequest} and tracing.

Context.Builder

A builder for {@see Context} objects.

ContextHandler

Class provides a per-thread storage of the {@see Context} instances.

Exclusion

Specifies a set of log entries that are not to be stored in Logging. If your GCP resource receives a large volume of logs, you can use exclusions to reduce your chargeable logs. Exclusions are processed after log sinks, so you can export log entries before they are excluded. Note that organization-level and folder-level exclusions don't apply to child resources, and that you can't exclude audit log entries.

Exclusion.Builder

A builder for Exclusion objects.

HttpRequest

Objects of this class represent information about the (optional) HTTP request associated with a log entry. See Also: Http Request

HttpRequest.Builder

A builder for HttpRequest objects.

HttpRequest.RequestMethod

The HTTP request method.

Instrumentation

LogDestinationName

Class for specifying resource name of the log to which this log entry belongs (see 'logName' parameter in https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/LogEntry)

LogEntry

A Cloud Logging log entry. All log entries are represented via objects of this class. Log entries can have different type of payloads: an UTF-8 string (see Payload.StringPayload), a JSON object (see Payload.JsonPayload, or a protobuf object (see Payload.ProtoPayload). Entries can also store additional information about the operation or the HTTP request that generated the log (see LogEntry#getOperation() and LogEntry#getHttpRequest(), respectively). See Also: Log Entries and Logs

LogEntry.Builder

A builder for LogEntry objects.

LogEntryIterator

The class implements {@see Iterator} interface over {@see LogEntry} by iterating through {@see TailLogEntriesResponse} streamed by BidiStream. This class is instantiated by {@see LogEntryServerStream} and is not intended to be used explicitly.

LogEntryServerStream

The class implements {@Iterable } interface over {@see LogEntry}. It wraps around {@BidiStream } bi-directional gRPC stream to support iterating through ingested responses. The class uses {@see LogEntryIterator} to iterate through the processed responses. The stream should be explicitly canceled by calling {@see LogEntryServerStream#cancel()} method. The class does not provide recovery or resuming functionality over the stream.

To iterate run:


 LogEntryServerStream stream;
 // code to initialize stream
 for (LogEntry log : stream) {
   // do something with logs
 }
 stream.cancel();
 

The iteration can be blocked on waiting for another response sent in the stream.

Logging.EntryListOption

Class for specifying options for listing log entries.

Logging.ListOption

Class for specifying options for listing sinks, monitored resources and monitored resource descriptors.

Logging.TailOption

Class for specifying options for tailing log entries.

Logging.WriteOption

Class for specifying options for writing log entries.

LoggingHandler

A logging handler that outputs logs generated with java.util.logging.Logger to Cloud Logging.

Java logging levels (see java.util.logging.Level) are mapped to the following Google Cloud Logging severities:

Java LevelCloud Logging Severity
SEVEREERROR
WARNINGWARNING
INFOINFO
CONFIGINFO
FINEDEBUG
FINERDEBUG
FINESTDEBUG

Original Java logging levels are added as labels (with levelName and levelValue keys, respectively) to the corresponding Cloud Logging LogEntry. You can read entry labels using LogEntry#getLabels(). To use logging levels that correspond to Cloud Logging severities you can use LoggingLevel.

Configuration: By default each LoggingHandler is initialized using the following LogManager configuration properties (that you can set in the logging.properties file). If properties are not defined (or have invalid values) then the specified default values are used.

  • com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler.log the log name (defaults to java.log).
  • com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler.level specifies the default level for the handler (defaults to Level.INFO).
  • com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler.filter specifies the name of a Filter class to use (defaults to no filter).
  • com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler.formatter specifies the name of a Formatter class to use (defaults to SimpleFormatter).
  • com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler.flushLevel specifies the flush log level. When a log with this level is published, logs are transmitted to the Cloud Logging service (defaults to LoggingLevel#ERROR).
  • com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler.enhancers specifies a comma separated list of LoggingEnhancer classes. This handler will call each enhancer list whenever it builds a LogEntry instance (defaults to empty list).
  • com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler.resourceType the type name to use when creating the default MonitoredResource (defaults to auto-detected resource type, else "global").
  • com.google.cloud.logging.Synchronicity the synchronicity of the write method to use to write logs to the Cloud Logging service (defaults to Synchronicity#ASYNC).
  • com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler.autoPopulateMetadata is a boolean flag that opts-out the population of the log entries metadata before the logs are sent to Cloud Logging (defaults to true).
  • com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler.redirectToStdout is a boolean flag that opts-in redirecting the output of the handler to STDOUT instead of ingesting logs to Cloud Logging using Logging API (defaults to true). Redirecting logs can be used in Google Cloud environments with installed logging agent to delegate log ingestions to the agent. Redirected logs are formatted as one line Json string following the structured logging guidelines.

To add a LoggingHandler to an existing Logger and be sure to avoid infinite recursion when logging, use the #addHandler(Logger, LoggingHandler) method. Alternatively you can add the handler via logging.properties. For example using the following line:

 com.example.mypackage.handlers=com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler
 

See Also: Structured logging

LoggingLevel

This class adds some additional Java logging levels for Cloud Logging. Added levels fill in the gap between Java logging levels and Cloud Logging severities.

Added levels in descending order are (between parenthesis the relation with Java logging levels):

  • EMERGENCY
  • ALERT
  • CRITICAL
  • ERROR (WARNING < ERROR < SEVERE)
  • NOTICE (INFO < NOTICE < WARNING)
  • DEBUG (ALL < DEBUG < FINEST

Notice that ERROR is lower than java.util.logging.Level#SEVERE but higher than java.util.logging.Level#WARNING. DEBUG instead is lower than java.util.logging.Level#FINEST but higher than java.util.logging.Level#ALL.
