Logging using Stackdriver API on Kubernetes / Google Container Engine (GKE)

Question

I have a go application that leverages Google Cloud Logging API.

The relevant code is the same as this sample from their documentation: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPla

Answer 1

So turns out the log were there but not where I'd expect them.

Using the gcloud CLI I could see those logs got the resource type gce_instance and therefore appears in the GCE VM Instance category

To figure this out:

  $ gcloud beta logging logs list
  projects//logs/
  ...

then

$ gcloud beta logging read projects//logs/
---
insertId: ...
jsonPayload:
   ...
logName: ...
receiveTimestamp: ...
resource:
  labels:
    instance_id: ...
    project_id: ...
    zone: ...
  type: gce_instance
timestamp: ...

Note type being gce_instance
