Google Stackdriver Logging
Overview
Google’s Stackdriver Logging product allows you to store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on log data and events from Google Cloud Platform.
Datadog pulls metrics from Google Stackdriver Logging to:
- Visualize the performance of your Stackdriver logs.
- Correlate the performance of your Stackdriver logs with your applications.
Setup
Installation
Metrics from Stackdriver Logs are included as part of the Google Cloud Platform integration. There are no additional installation steps required.
Log collection
If you haven’t already, set up the Cloud Pub/sub with a HTTP push forwarder to forward your GCP logs to Datadog.
