gcloud alpha logging metrics create - create a logs-based metric
gcloud alpha logging metrics create METRIC_NAME (--config-from-file=CONFIG_FROM_FILE | [--description=DESCRIPTION --log-filter=LOG_FILTER : --bucket-name=BUCKET_NAME]) [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) Create a logs-based metric to count the number of log entries that match a filter expression. Logs-based metrics can also be used to extract values from logs and create a distribution of the values.
To create a metric that counts the number of log entries with a severity level higher than WARNING, run:
$ gcloud alpha logging metrics create high_severity_count \ --description="Number of high severity log entries" \ --log-filter="severity > WARNING"
Detailed information about filters can be found at: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/logging-query-language
To create a metric that uses advanced features like distribution or user-defined labels, run:
$ gcloud alpha logging metrics create my_metric \ --config-from-file=$PATH_TO_FILE
The config file can be in YAML or JSON format. Detailed information about how to configure metrics can be found at: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/projects.metrics#LogMetric.
To create a bucket log-based metric, run:
$ gcloud alpha logging metrics create my_bucket_metric \ --description="DESCRIPTION" --log-filter="LOG_FILTER" \ --bucket-name="BUCKET_NAME"
- METRIC_NAME
The name of the new metric.
- Data about the new metric.
Exactly one of these must be specified:
- --config-from-file=CONFIG_FROM_FILE
A path to a YAML or JSON file specifying the logs-based metric to create.
- A group of arguments to specify simple counter logs-based metrics.
- --description=DESCRIPTION
The metric's description.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- --log-filter=LOG_FILTER
The metric's filter expression.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.
- --bucket-name=BUCKET_NAME
The Log Bucket name which owns the log-based metric.
