NAME

gcloud alpha logging write - write a log entry

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha logging write LOG_NAME MESSAGE [--payload-type=PAYLOAD_TYPE; default="text"] [--severity=SEVERITY; default="DEFAULT"] [--billing-account=BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID     | --folder=FOLDER_ID     | --organization=ORGANIZATION_ID     | --project=PROJECT_ID] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) Write a log entry. If the destination log does not exist, it will be created. All log entries written with this command are considered to be from the "custom.googleapis.com" v1 service or the "global" v2 resource type. The log entries will be listed in the Logs Explorer under that service or resource type.

gcloud alpha logging write should be used for simple testing purposes. Check Cloud Logging agent for a proper way to send log entries: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/

EXAMPLES

To create a log entry in a given log, run:

gcloud alpha logging write LOG_NAME "A simple entry"

To create a high severity log entry, run:

gcloud alpha logging write LOG_NAME "Urgent message" --severity=ALERT

To create a structured log, run:

gcloud alpha logging write LOG_NAME '{"key": "value"}' --payload-type=json

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

LOG_NAME

Name of the log where the log entry will be written.

MESSAGE

Message to put in the log entry. It can be JSON if you include --payload-type=json.

FLAGS

--payload-type=PAYLOAD_TYPE; default="text"

Type of the log entry payload. PAYLOAD_TYPE must be one of: text, json.

--severity=SEVERITY; default="DEFAULT"

Severity level of the log entry. SEVERITY must be one of: DEFAULT, DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL, ALERT, EMERGENCY.

At most one of these can be specified:

--billing-account=BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID

Billing account of the log entries to write.

--folder=FOLDER_ID

Folder of the log entries to write.

--organization=ORGANIZATION_ID

Organization of the log entries to write.

--project=PROJECT_ID

Project of the log entries to write.

The Google Cloud project ID to use for this invocation. If omitted, then the current project is assumed; the current project can be listed using gcloud config list --format='text(core.project)' and can be set using gcloud config set project PROJECTID.

--project and its fallback core/project property play two roles in the invocation. It specifies the project of the resource to operate on. It also specifies the project for API enablement check, quota, and billing. To specify a different project for quota and billing, use --billing-project or billing/quota_project property.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
