问题
I have a log in Stackdriver that logs every request goes into my api and failed, and I want to write a script to count on the number of times each error message appears. The problem is, the export feature in Stackdriver V2 only allow me to sink upcoming error messages, but I only care about the logs entries that already lives in the log. Is there a way to download the complete log from Stackdriver?
回答1:
You can now do this from the gcloud CLI tool, with gcloud logging read: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/tools/gcloud-logging#reading_log_entries
Though in the scenario described, creating a log sink is the only way to capture events that are older than the stackdriver logging window, which is only 30 days even in the paid version.

If you want to pull existing log data, you'll need to use the API to list entries: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/entries/list
You can do this directly from the API documentation page if you only need a one time solution.
