# Log View

Log View in Google Cloud Platform is a configuration that defines how logs are displayed and filtered within Cloud Logging. It allows users to control which log entries are visible in a specific view by applying filters and access permissions. This helps teams focus on relevant logs for troubleshooting, monitoring, or compliance while maintaining security and data separation across projects or environments.

Filter that restricts which log entries in a bucket are visible in this view.Filters must be logical conjunctions that use the AND operator, and they can use any of the following qualifiers: SOURCE(), which specifies a project, folder, organization, or billing account of origin. resource.type, which specifies the resource type. LOG_ID(), which identifies the log.They can also use the negations of these qualifiers with the NOT operator.For example:SOURCE("projects/myproject") AND resource.type = "gce_instance" AND NOT LOG_ID("stdout") |
