Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Logs

GCP logs provide comprehensive monitoring and logging across all Google Cloud services through Cloud Logging. These logs capture various types of data, including system events, API calls, network traffic, resource access, and performance metrics. GCP logs are essential for tracking user activity, monitoring infrastructure, troubleshooting issues, auditing security and compliance, and optimizing the performance of Google Cloud resources.

Ingest Methods

GCP Logs can be ingested using the GCS object storage method as well as setting up a webhook to receive events.

GCS buckets are inherently cheaper than using the webhook method but logs can be delayed by up to an hour. The webhook ingestion imports logs as soon as they are generated, but using pub/sub to forward every event can become more expensive if there are lots of logs.
