snippets.py is a simple command-line program to demonstrate writing to a log, listing its entries, and deleting it.

export.py demonstrates how to interact with sinks which are used to export logs to Google Cloud Storage, Cloud Pub/Sub, or BigQuery. The sample uses Google Cloud Storage, but can be easily adapted for other outputs.

All samples require a Google Cloud Project.

To run export.py, you will also need a Google Cloud Storage Bucket.

gsutil mb gs://[YOUR_PROJECT_ID]

You must add Cloud Logging as an owner to the bucket. To do so, add cloud-logs@google.com as an owner to the bucket. See the exportings logs docs for complete details.

Use the Cloud SDK to provide authentication:

gcloud beta auth application-default login

Run the samples:

python snippets.py -h
python export.py -h
