This directory contains samples for Stackdriver Logging. Stackdriver Logging allows you to store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on log data and events from Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services.

Setup

Authentication

This sample requires you to have authentication setup. Refer to the Authentication Getting Started Guide for instructions on setting up credentials for applications.

Install Dependencies

Create a virtualenv. Samples are compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.4+.
```
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
```
Install the dependencies needed to run the samples.
```
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Samples

Quickstart

To run this sample:

$ python quickstart.py

Snippets

https://gstatic.com/cloudssh/images/open-btn.png

To run this sample:

$ python snippets.py

usage: snippets.py [-h] logger_name {list,write,delete} ...

This application demonstrates how to perform basic operations on logs and
log entries with Stackdriver Logging.

For more information, see the README.md under /logging and the
documentation at https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs.

positional arguments:
  logger_name          Logger name
  {list,write,delete}
    list               Lists the most recent entries for a given logger.
    write              Writes log entries to the given logger.
    delete             Deletes a logger and all its entries. Note that a
                       deletion can take several minutes to take effect.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit

Export

https://gstatic.com/cloudssh/images/open-btn.png

To run this sample:

$ python export.py

usage: export.py [-h] {list,create,update,delete} ...

positional arguments:
  {list,create,update,delete}
    list                Lists all sinks.
    create              Lists all sinks.
    update              Changes a sink's filter. The filter determines which
                        logs this sink matches and will be exported to the
                        destination. For example a filter of 'severity>=INFO'
                        will send all logs that have a severity of INFO or
                        greater to the destination. See https://cloud.google.c
                        om/logging/docs/view/advanced_filters for more filter
                        information.
    delete              Deletes a sink.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

The client library
