A list of exclusions.

next_page_token

string

If there might be more results than appear in this response, then nextPageToken is included. To get the next set of results, call the same method again using the value of nextPageToken as pageToken.

ListLogEntriesRequest

The parameters to ListLogEntries.

Fields

The maximum length of the filter is 20000 characters.

order_by

string

Optional. How the results should be sorted. Presently, the only permitted values are "timestamp asc" (default) and "timestamp desc".

Result returned from ListLogEntries.

Fields
entries[]

LogEntry

A list of log entries. If entries is empty, nextPageToken may still be returned, indicating that more entries may exist. See nextPageToken for more information.

next_page_token

string

If there might be more results than those appearing in this response, then nextPageToken is included. To get the next set of results, call this method again using the value of nextPageToken as pageToken.

If a value for next_page_token appears and the entries field is empty, it means that the search found no log entries so far but it did not have time to search all the possible log entries. Retry the method with this value for page_token to continue the search. Alternatively, consider speeding up the search by changing your filter to specify a single log name or resource type, or to narrow the time range of the search.

LogEntry

An individual entry in a log.

Fields
log_name

string

Required. The resource name of the log to which this log entry belongs:

"projects/[PROJECT_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]"
"organizations/[ORGANIZATION_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]"
"billingAccounts/[BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]"
"folders/[FOLDER_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]"

A project number may optionally be used in place of PROJECT_ID. The project number is translated to its corresponding PROJECT_ID internally and the log_name field will contain PROJECT_ID in queries and exports.

[LOG_ID] must be URL-encoded within log_name. Example: "organizations/1234567890/logs/cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com%2Factivity". [LOG_ID] must be less than 512 characters long and can only include the following characters: upper and lower case alphanumeric characters, forward-slash, underscore, hyphen, and period.

For backward compatibility, if log_name begins with a forward-slash, such as /projects/..., then the log entry is ingested as usual but the forward-slash is removed. Listing the log entry will not show the leading slash and filtering for a log name with a leading slash will never return any results.
resource

MonitoredResource

Required. The monitored resource that produced this log entry.

Example: a log entry that reports a database error would be associated with the monitored resource designating the particular database that reported the error.
timestamp

Timestamp

Optional. The time the event described by the log entry occurred. This time is used to compute the log entry's age and to enforce the logs retention period. If this field is omitted in a new log entry, then Logging assigns it the current time. Timestamps have nanosecond accuracy, but trailing zeros in the fractional seconds might be omitted when the timestamp is displayed.

Incoming log entries should have timestamps that are no more than the logs retention period in the past, and no more than 24 hours in the future. Log entries outside those time boundaries will not be available when calling entries.list, but those log entries can still be exported with LogSinks.
receive_timestamp

Timestamp

Output only. The time the log entry was received by Logging.

severity

LogSeverity

Optional. The severity of the log entry. The default value is LogSeverity.DEFAULT.

insert_id

string

Optional. A unique identifier for the log entry. If you provide a value, then Logging considers other log entries in the same project, with the same timestamp, and with the same insert_id to be duplicates which can be removed. If omitted in new log entries, then Logging assigns its own unique identifier. The insert_id is also used to order log entries that have the same timestamp value.

http_request

HttpRequest

Optional. Information about the HTTP request associated with this log entry, if applicable.

labels

map<string, string>

Optional. A set of user-defined (key, value) data that provides additional information about the log entry.

metadata
(deprecated)

MonitoredResourceMetadata

Deprecated. Output only. Additional metadata about the monitored resource.

Only k8s_container, k8s_pod, and k8s_node MonitoredResources have this field populated for GKE versions older than 1.12.6. For GKE versions 1.12.6 and above, the metadata field has been deprecated. The Kubernetes pod labels that used to be in metadata.userLabels will now be present in the labels field with a key prefix of k8s-pod/. The Stackdriver system labels that were present in the metadata.systemLabels field will no longer be available in the LogEntry.
operation

LogEntryOperation

Optional. Information about an operation associated with the log entry, if applicable.

trace

string

Optional. Resource name of the trace associated with the log entry, if any. If it contains a relative resource name, the name is assumed to be relative to //tracing.googleapis.com. Example: projects/my-projectid/traces/06796866738c859f2f19b7cfb3214824

span_id

string

Optional. The span ID within the trace associated with the log entry.

For Trace spans, this is the same format that the Trace API v2 uses: a 16-character hexadecimal encoding of an 8-byte array, such as

"000000000000004a"

.
trace_sampled

bool

Optional. The sampling decision of the trace associated with the log entry.

True means that the trace resource name in the trace field was sampled for storage in a trace backend. False means that the trace was not sampled for storage when this log entry was written, or the sampling decision was unknown at the time. A non-sampled trace value is still useful as a request correlation identifier. The default is False.
source_location

LogEntrySourceLocation

Optional. Source code location information associated with the log entry, if any.

Union field payload. Optional. The log entry payload, which can be one of multiple types. payload can be only one of the following:
proto_payload

Any

The log entry payload, represented as a protocol buffer. Some Google Cloud Platform services use this field for their log entry payloads.

The following protocol buffer types are supported; user-defined types are not supported:

"type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.audit.AuditLog" "type.googleapis.com/google.appengine.logging.v1.RequestLog"
text_payload

string

The log entry payload, represented as a Unicode string (UTF-8).

json_payload

Struct

The log entry payload, represented as a structure that is expressed as a JSON object.

LogEntryOperation

Additional information about a potentially long-running operation with which a log entry is associated.

Fields
id

string

producer

string

Optional. An arbitrary producer identifier. The combination of id and producer must be globally unique. Examples for producer: "MyDivision.MyBigCompany.com", "github.com/MyProject/MyApplication".

first

bool

Optional. Set this to True if this is the first log entry in the operation.

last

bool

Optional. Set this to True if this is the last log entry in the operation.

LogEntrySourceLocation

Additional information about the source code location that produced the log entry.

Fields
file

string

line

int64

Optional. Line within the source file. 1-based; 0 indicates no line number available.

function

string

Optional. Human-readable name of the function or method being invoked, with optional context such as the class or package name. This information may be used in contexts such as the logs viewer, where a file and line number are less meaningful. The format can vary by language. For example: qual.if.ied.Class.method (Java), dir/package.func (Go), function (Python).

LogExclusion

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.

Fields
name

string

Required. A client-assigned identifier, such as "load-balancer-exclusion". Identifiers are limited to 100 characters and can include only letters, digits, underscores, hyphens, and periods. First character has to be alphanumeric.

description

string

Optional. A description of this exclusion.

filter

string

Required. An advanced logs filter that matches the log entries to be excluded. By using the sample function, you can exclude less than 100% of the matching log entries. For example, the following query matches 99% of low-severity log entries from Google Cloud Storage buckets:

"resource.type=gcs_bucket severity<ERROR sample(insertId, 0.99)"
disabled

bool

Optional. If set to True, then this exclusion is disabled and it does not exclude any log entries. You can update an exclusion to change the value of this field.

create_time

Timestamp

Output only. The creation timestamp of the exclusion.

This field may not be present for older exclusions.
update_time

Timestamp

Output only. The last update timestamp of the exclusion.

This field may not be present for older exclusions.

LogMetric

Describes a logs-based metric. The value of the metric is the number of log entries that match a logs filter in a given time interval.

Logs-based metric can also be used to extract values from logs and create a a distribution of the values. The distribution records the statistics of the extracted values along with an optional histogram of the values as specified by the bucket options.

Fields
name

string

Required. The client-assigned metric identifier. Examples: "error_count", "nginx/requests".

Metric identifiers are limited to 100 characters and can include only the following characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and the special characters _-.,+!*',()%/. The forward-slash character (/) denotes a hierarchy of name pieces, and it cannot be the first character of the name.

The metric identifier in this field must not be URL-encoded. However, when the metric identifier appears as the [METRIC_ID] part of a metric_name API parameter, then the metric identifier must be URL-encoded. Example: "projects/my-project/metrics/nginx%2Frequests".
description

string

Optional. A description of this metric, which is used in documentation. The maximum length of the description is 8000 characters.

filter

string

Required. An advanced logs filter which is used to match log entries. Example:

"resource.type=gae_app AND severity>=ERROR"

The maximum length of the filter is 20000 characters.
metric_descriptor

MetricDescriptor

Optional. The metric descriptor associated with the logs-based metric. If unspecified, it uses a default metric descriptor with a DELTA metric kind, INT64 value type, with no labels and a unit of "1". Such a metric counts the number of log entries matching the filter expression.

The name, type, and description fields in the metric_descriptor are output only, and is constructed using the name and description field in the LogMetric.

To create a logs-based metric that records a distribution of log values, a DELTA metric kind with a DISTRIBUTION value type must be used along with a value_extractor expression in the LogMetric.

Each label in the metric descriptor must have a matching label name as the key and an extractor expression as the value in the label_extractors map.

The metric_kind and value_type fields in the metric_descriptor cannot be updated once initially configured. New labels can be added in the metric_descriptor, but existing labels cannot be modified except for their description.
value_extractor

string

Optional. A value_extractor is required when using a distribution logs-based metric to extract the values to record from a log entry. Two functions are supported for value extraction: EXTRACT(field) or REGEXP_EXTRACT(field, regex). The argument are: 1. field: The name of the log entry field from which the value is to be extracted. 2. regex: A regular expression using the Google RE2 syntax (https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax) with a single capture group to extract data from the specified log entry field. The value of the field is converted to a string before applying the regex. It is an error to specify a regex that does not include exactly one capture group.

The result of the extraction must be convertible to a double type, as the distribution always records double values. If either the extraction or the conversion to double fails, then those values are not recorded in the distribution.

Example: REGEXP_EXTRACT(jsonPayload.request, ".*quantity=(\d+).*")
label_extractors

map<string, string>

Optional. A map from a label key string to an extractor expression which is used to extract data from a log entry field and assign as the label value. Each label key specified in the LabelDescriptor must have an associated extractor expression in this map. The syntax of the extractor expression is the same as for the value_extractor field.

The extracted value is converted to the type defined in the label descriptor. If the either the extraction or the type conversion fails, the label will have a default value. The default value for a string label is an empty string, for an integer label its 0, and for a boolean label its false.

Note that there are upper bounds on the maximum number of labels and the number of active time series that are allowed in a project.
bucket_options

BucketOptions

Optional. The bucket_options are required when the logs-based metric is using a DISTRIBUTION value type and it describes the bucket boundaries used to create a histogram of the extracted values.

create_time

Timestamp

Output only. The creation timestamp of the metric.

This field may not be present for older metrics.
update_time

Timestamp

Output only. The last update timestamp of the metric.

This field may not be present for older metrics.
version
(deprecated)

ApiVersion

Deprecated. The API version that created or updated this metric. The v2 format is used by default and cannot be changed.

ApiVersion

Logging API version.

Enums
V2 Logging API v2.
V1 Logging API v1.

LogSink

Describes a sink used to export log entries to one of the following destinations in any project: a Cloud Storage bucket, a BigQuery dataset, or a Cloud Pub/Sub topic. A logs filter controls which log entries are exported. The sink must be created within a project, organization, billing account, or folder.

Fields
name

string

Required. The client-assigned sink identifier, unique within the project. Example: "my-syslog-errors-to-pubsub". Sink identifiers are limited to 100 characters and can include only the following characters: upper and lower-case alphanumeric characters, underscores, hyphens, and periods. First character has to be alphanumeric.

destination

string

Required. The export destination:

"storage.googleapis.com/[GCS_BUCKET]"
"bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/datasets/[DATASET]"
"pubsub.googleapis.com/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/topics/[TOPIC_ID]"

The sink's writer_identity, set when the sink is created, must have permission to write to the destination or else the log entries are not exported. For more information, see Exporting Logs with Sinks.
filter

string

Optional. An advanced logs filter. The only exported log entries are those that are in the resource owning the sink and that match the filter. For example:

logName="projects/[PROJECT_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]" AND severity>=ERROR

output_version_format
(deprecated)

VersionFormat

Deprecated. The log entry format to use for this sink's exported log entries. The v2 format is used by default and cannot be changed.
writer_identity

string

Output only. An IAM identity—a service account or group—under which Logging writes the exported log entries to the sink's destination. This field is set by sinks.create and sinks.update based on the value of unique_writer_identity in those methods.

Until you grant this identity write-access to the destination, log entry exports from this sink will fail. For more information, see Granting Access for a Resource. Consult the destination service's documentation to determine the appropriate IAM roles to assign to the identity.
include_children

bool

Optional. This field applies only to sinks owned by organizations and folders. If the field is false, the default, only the logs owned by the sink's parent resource are available for export. If the field is true, then logs from all the projects, folders, and billing accounts contained in the sink's parent resource are also available for export. Whether a particular log entry from the children is exported depends on the sink's filter expression. For example, if this field is true, then the filter resource.type=gce_instance would export all Compute Engine VM instance log entries from all projects in the sink's parent. To only export entries from certain child projects, filter on the project part of the log name:

logName:("projects/test-project1/" OR "projects/test-project2/") AND
resource.type=gce_instance

create_time

Timestamp

Output only. The creation timestamp of the sink.

This field may not be present for older sinks.
update_time

Timestamp

Output only. The last update timestamp of the sink.

This field may not be present for older sinks.
start_time
(deprecated)

Timestamp

Do not use. This field is ignored.
end_time
(deprecated)

Timestamp

Do not use. This field is ignored.
bigquery_options

BigQueryOptions

Optional. Options that affect sinks exporting data to BigQuery.

VersionFormat

Available log entry formats. Log entries can be written to Logging in either format and can be exported in either format. Version 2 is the preferred format.

Enums
VERSION_FORMAT_UNSPECIFIED An unspecified format version that will default to V2.
V2 LogEntry version 2 format.
V1 LogEntry version 1 format.

UpdateExclusionRequest

  • logging.exclusions.update
exclusion

LogExclusion

Required. New values for the existing exclusion. Only the fields specified in update_mask are relevant.

update_mask

FieldMask

Required. A non-empty list of fields to change in the existing exclusion. New values for the fields are taken from the corresponding fields in the LogExclusion included in this request. Fields not mentioned in update_mask are not changed and are ignored in the request.

For example, to change the filter and description of an exclusion, specify an update_mask of "filter,description".

UpdateLogMetricRequest

The parameters to UpdateLogMetric.

Fields
metric_name

string

The resource name of the metric to update:

"projects/[PROJECT_ID]/metrics/[METRIC_ID]"

The updated metric must be provided in the request and it's name field must be the same as [METRIC_ID] If the metric does not exist in [PROJECT_ID], then a new metric is created.

Authorization requires the following Google IAM permission on the specified resource metricName:

  • logging.logMetrics.update
metric

LogMetric

The updated metric.

UpdateSinkRequest

The parameters to UpdateSink.

Fields
sink_name

string

Required. The full resource name of the sink to update, including the parent resource and the sink identifier:

Example: "projects/my-project-id/sinks/my-sink-id".

Authorization requires the following Google IAM permission on the specified resource sinkName:

  • logging.sinks.update
sink

LogSink

Required. The updated sink, whose name is the same identifier that appears as part of sink_name.

unique_writer_identity

bool

Optional. See sinks.create for a description of this field. When updating a sink, the effect of this field on the value of writer_identity in the updated sink depends on both the old and new values of this field:

  • If the old and new values of this field are both false or both true, then there is no change to the sink's writer_identity.
  • If the old value is false and the new value is true, then writer_identity is changed to a unique service account.
  • It is an error if the old value is true and the new value is set to false or defaulted to false.
update_mask

FieldMask

Optional. Field mask that specifies the fields in sink that need an update. A sink field will be overwritten if, and only if, it is in the update mask. name and output only fields cannot be updated.

An empty updateMask is temporarily treated as using the following mask for backwards compatibility purposes: destination,filter,includeChildren At some point in the future, behavior will be removed and specifying an empty updateMask will be an error.

For a detailed FieldMask definition, see https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/google.protobuf#google.protobuf.FieldMask

Example: updateMask=filter.

WriteLogEntriesPartialErrors

Error details for WriteLogEntries with partial success.

Fields
log_entry_errors

map<int32, Status>

When WriteLogEntriesRequest.partial_success is true, records the error status for entries that were not written due to a permanent error, keyed by the entry's zero-based index in WriteLogEntriesRequest.entries.

Failed requests for which no entries are written will not include per-entry errors.

WriteLogEntriesRequest

The parameters to WriteLogEntries.

Fields
log_name

string

Optional. A default log resource name that is assigned to all log entries in entries that do not specify a value for log_name:

"projects/[PROJECT_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]"
"organizations/[ORGANIZATION_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]"
"billingAccounts/[BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]"
"folders/[FOLDER_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]"

[LOG_ID] must be URL-encoded. For example:

"projects/my-project-id/logs/syslog"
"organizations/1234567890/logs/cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com%2Factivity"

The permission

logging.logEntries.create

is needed on each project, organization, billing account, or folder that is receiving new log entries, whether the resource is specified in

logName

or in an individual log entry.

Authorization requires the following Google IAM permission on the specified resource logName:

  • logging.logEntries.create
resource

MonitoredResource

Optional. A default monitored resource object that is assigned to all log entries in entries that do not specify a value for resource. Example:

{ "type": "gce_instance",
  "labels": {
    "zone": "us-central1-a", "instance_id": "00000000000000000000" }}

See LogEntry.
labels

map<string, string>

Optional. Default labels that are added to the labels field of all log entries in entries. If a log entry already has a label with the same key as a label in this parameter, then the log entry's label is not changed. See LogEntry.

entries[]

LogEntry

Required. The log entries to send to Logging. The order of log entries in this list does not matter. Values supplied in this method's log_name, resource, and labels fields are copied into those log entries in this list that do not include values for their corresponding fields. For more information, see the LogEntry type.

If the timestamp or insert_id fields are missing in log entries, then this method supplies the current time or a unique identifier, respectively. The supplied values are chosen so that, among the log entries that did not supply their own values, the entries earlier in the list will sort before the entries later in the list. See the entries.list method.

Log entries with timestamps that are more than the logs retention period in the past or more than 24 hours in the future will not be available when calling entries.list. However, those log entries can still be exported with LogSinks.

To improve throughput and to avoid exceeding the quota limit for calls to entries.write, you should try to include several log entries in this list, rather than calling this method for each individual log entry.

Authorization requires the following Google IAM permission on the specified resource entries:

  • logging.logEntries.create
partial_success

bool

Optional. Whether valid entries should be written even if some other entries fail due to INVALID_ARGUMENT or PERMISSION_DENIED errors. If any entry is not written, then the response status is the error associated with one of the failed entries and the response includes error details keyed by the entries' zero-based index in the entries.write method.

dry_run

bool

Optional. If true, the request should expect normal response, but the entries won't be persisted nor exported. Useful for checking whether the logging API endpoints are working properly before sending valuable data.

WriteLogEntriesResponse

Result returned from WriteLogEntries. empty
