Bob Loblaw’s Log Blog: this week on Google Cloud Platform
Friday, June 17, 2016
Posted by Alex Barrett, Editor, Google Cloud Platform Blog
With apologies to Arrested Development fans out there, the
Google Cloud Platform
community has amassed a whole host of posts about logs recently — enough for a
Bob Loblaw log blog
.
Maybe you don’t think logging is the most exciting feature, but that doesn’t make it any less important. That’s why Cloud Platform’s integrated monitoring suite,
Google Stackdriver
, includes logging as part of the base package. Check out Google Developer Advocate Aja Hammerly’s
explanation
of what Stackdriver Logging can do, how to set it up and what to do when it’s no longer enough (hint: export the logs into
BigQuery
).
Stackdriver Logging is turned on by default for applications running on
Google App Engine
, but it can also be used with other apps and services. For example, former Googler
Joe Beda
uses Stackdriver Logging to
augment Docker logs
—
to prevent them from filling up a disk, and from being deleted along with their associated container. Likewise, John Hamminck, chief evangelist at Treasure Data, tackles
streaming logging with Fluentd, Kubernetes and GCP
. And then there’s Ido Shamun, co-founder for @ElegantMonkeys, who
streams the logs
from his hapi.js stack running on App Engine to GCP Logging. “Now all the logs are fully structured in GCP Logging and I can create custom metrics and get insights out of my logs,” he writes.
Logs are also a crucial debugging tool. For the uninitiated, Romin Imani offers this
tutorial on using Stackdriver Monitoring
to debug a running application using the Debugger and Trace features, analyzing application logs and adding log points to an application. Oh, and about those log points…. You can
now add log points on the fly
, to a running application, with no need to restart.
To quote Buster, “
This party is going to be Off. The. Hook
