A log is a named collection of entries, each entry representing a timestamped event. Logs can be produced by Google Cloud Platform services, by third-party services, or by your applications. For example, the log apache-access
is produced by the Apache Web Server, but the log compute.googleapis.com/activity_log
is produced by Google Compute Engine.
