gcloud beta logging write - write a log entry
gcloud beta logging write LOG_NAME MESSAGE [--payload-type=PAYLOAD_TYPE; default="text"] [--severity=SEVERITY; default="DEFAULT"] [--billing-account=BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID | --folder=FOLDER_ID | --organization=ORGANIZATION_ID | --project=PROJECT_ID] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(BETA) Write a log entry. If the destination log does not exist, it will be created. All log entries written with this command are considered to be from the "custom.googleapis.com" v1 service or the "global" v2 resource type. The log entries will be listed in the Logs Explorer under that service or resource type.
gcloud beta logging write should be used for simple testing purposes. Check Cloud Logging agent for a proper way to send log entries: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/
To create a log entry in a given log, run:
$ gcloud beta logging write LOG_NAME "A simple entry"
To create a high severity log entry, run:
$ gcloud beta logging write LOG_NAME "Urgent message" \ --severity=ALERT
To create a structured log, run:
$ gcloud beta logging write LOG_NAME '{"key": "value"}' \ --payload-type=json
- LOG_NAME
Name of the log where the log entry will be written.
- MESSAGE
Message to put in the log entry. It can be JSON if you include --payload-type=json.
- --payload-type=PAYLOAD_TYPE; default="text"
Type of the log entry payload. PAYLOAD_TYPE must be one of: text, json.
- --severity=SEVERITY; default="DEFAULT"
Severity level of the log entry. SEVERITY must be one of: DEFAULT, DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL, ALERT, EMERGENCY.
- At most one of these can be specified:
- --billing-account=BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID
Billing account of the log entries to write.
- --folder=FOLDER_ID
Folder of the log entries to write.
- --organization=ORGANIZATION_ID
Organization of the log entries to write.
- --project=PROJECT_ID

The Google Cloud project ID to use for this invocation. If omitted, then the current project is assumed; the current project can be listed using gcloud config list --format='text(core.project)' and can be set using gcloud config set project PROJECTID.
--project and its fallback core/project property play two roles in the invocation. It specifies the project of the resource to operate on. It also specifies the project for API enablement check, quota, and billing. To specify a different project for quota and billing, use --billing-project or billing/quota_project property.
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
