Stackdriver Logging Client

Client for interacting with the Google Stackdriver Logging API.

class google.cloud.logging.client.Client(project=None, credentials=None, _http=None, _use_grpc=None, client_info=None)

Bases: google.cloud.client.ClientWithProject

Client to bundle configuration needed for API requests.

  • Parameters

    • project (str) – the project which the client acts on behalf of. If not passed, falls back to the default inferred from the environment.

    • credentials (Credentials) – (Optional) The OAuth2 Credentials to use for this client. If not passed (and if no _http object is passed), falls back to the default inferred from the environment.

    • _http (Session) – (Optional) HTTP object to make requests. Can be any object that defines request() with the same interface as requests.Session.request(). If not passed, an _http object is created that is bound to the credentials for the current object. This parameter should be considered private, and could change in the future.

    • _use_grpc (bool) – (Optional) Explicitly specifies whether to use the gRPC transport or HTTP. If unset, falls back to the GOOGLE_CLOUD_DISABLE_GRPC environment variable This parameter should be considered private, and could change in the future.

    • client_info (google.api_core.client_info.ClientInfo or google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo) – The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If None, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you’re developing your own library or partner tool.

SCOPE(: Optional[Tuple[str, ...] = ('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/logging.read', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/logging.write', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/logging.admin', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform' )

The scopes required for authenticating as a Logging consumer.

get_default_handler(**kw)

Return the default logging handler based on the local environment.

  • Parameters

    kw (dict) – keyword args passed to handler constructor

  • Return type

    logging.Handler

  • Returns

    The default log handler based on the environment

list_entries(projects=None, filter_=None, order_by=None, page_size=None, page_token=None)

Return a page of log entries.

See https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/entries/list

  • Parameters

    • projects (list of strings) – project IDs to include. If not passed, defaults to the project bound to the client.

    • filter (str) – a filter expression. See https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/advanced_filters

    • order_by (str) – One of ASCENDING or DESCENDING.

    • page_size (int) – Optional. The maximum number of entries in each page of results from this request. Non-positive values are ignored. Defaults to a sensible value set by the API.

    • page_token (str) – Optional. If present, return the next batch of entries, using the value, which must correspond to the nextPageToken value returned in the previous response. Deprecated: use the pages property of the returned iterator instead of manually passing the token.

  • Return type

    Iterator

  • Returns

    Iterator of _BaseEntry accessible to the current client.

  • Parameters

    • page_size (int) – Optional. The maximum number of metrics in each page of results from this request. Non-positive values are ignored. Defaults to a sensible value set by the API.

    • page_token (str) – Optional. If present, return the next batch of metrics, using the value, which must correspond to the nextPageToken value returned in the previous response. Deprecated: use the pages property of the returned iterator instead of manually passing the token.

  • Return type

    Iterator

  • Returns

    Iterator of Metric accessible to the current client.

list_sinks(page_size=None, page_token=None)

List sinks for the project associated with this client.

See https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/projects.sinks/list

  • Parameters

    • page_size (int) – Optional. The maximum number of sinks in each page of results from this request. Non-positive values are ignored. Defaults to a sensible value set by the API.

    • page_token (str) – Optional. If present, return the next batch of sinks, using the value, which must correspond to the nextPageToken value returned in the previous response. Deprecated: use the pages property of the returned iterator instead of manually passing the token.

  • Return type

    Iterator

  • Returns

    Iterator of Sink accessible to the current client.

logger(name)

Creates a logger bound to the current client.

property logging_api()

Helper for logging-related API calls.

See https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/entries https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/projects.logs

metric(name, filter_=None, description='')

Creates a metric bound to the current client.

  • Parameters

    • name (str) – the name of the metric to be constructed.

    • filter (str) – the advanced logs filter expression defining the entries tracked by the metric. If not passed, the instance should already exist, to be refreshed via Metric.reload().

    • description (str) – the description of the metric to be constructed. If not passed, the instance should already exist, to be refreshed via Metric.reload().

  • Return type

    google.cloud.logging.metric.Metric

  • Returns

    Metric created with the current client.

property metrics_api()

See https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/projects.metrics

setup_logging(log_level=20, excluded_loggers=('google.cloud', 'google.auth', 'google_auth_httplib2'), **kw)

Attach default Stackdriver logging handler to the root logger.

This method uses the default log handler, obtained by get_default_handler(), and attaches it to the root Python logger, so that a call such as logging.warn, as well as all child loggers, will report to Stackdriver logging.

  • Parameters

    • log_level (int) – (Optional) Python logging log level. Defaults to logging.INFO.

    • excluded_loggers (tuple) – (Optional) The loggers to not attach the handler to. This will always include the loggers in the path of the logging client itself.

    • kw (dict) – keyword args passed to handler constructor

sink(name, filter_=None, destination=None)

Creates a sink bound to the current client.

  • Parameters

    • name (str) – the name of the sink to be constructed.

    • filter (str) – (optional) the advanced logs filter expression defining the entries exported by the sink. If not passed, the instance should already exist, to be refreshed via Sink.reload().

    • destination (str) – destination URI for the entries exported by the sink. If not passed, the instance should already exist, to be refreshed via Sink.reload().

  • Return type

    google.cloud.logging.sink.Sink

  • Returns

    Sink created with the current client.

property sinks_api()

Helper for log sink-related API calls.
