sinks

Creates a sink that exports specified log entries to a destination. The export begins upon ingress, unless the sink's writer_identity is not permitted to write to the destination. A sink can export log entries only from the resource owning the sink.

post/v2/{+parent}/sinks

Path parameters

parentstring required

Required. The resource in which to create the sink: "projects/[PROJECT_ID]" "organizations/[ORGANIZATION_ID]" "billingAccounts/[BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID]" "folders/[FOLDER_ID]" For examples:"projects/my-project" "organizations/123456789"

Query parameters

customWriterIdentitystring

Optional. The service account provided by the caller that will be used to write the log entries. The format must be serviceAccount:some@email. This field can only be specified when you are routing logs to a log bucket that is in a different project than the sink. When not specified, a Logging service account will automatically be generated.

uniqueWriterIdentityboolean

Optional. Determines the kind of IAM identity returned as writer_identity in the new sink. If this value is omitted or set to false, and if the sink's parent is a project, then the value returned as writer_identity is the same group or service account used by Cloud Logging before the addition of writer identities to this API. The sink's destination must be in the same project as the sink itself.If this field is set to true, or if the sink is owned by a non-project resource such as an organization, then the value of writer_identity will be a service agent (https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/service-account-types#service-agents) used by the sinks with the same parent. For more information, see writer_identity in LogSink.

Request body

filterstring

Optional. An advanced logs filter (https://docs.cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/building-queries#queries-by-expression). The only exported log entries are those that are in the resource owning the sink and that match the filter.For example:logName="projects/[PROJECT_ID]/logs/[LOG_ID]" AND severity>=ERROR

updateTimestring google-datetime

Output only. The last update timestamp of the sink.This field may not be present for older sinks.

interceptChildrenboolean

Optional. This field applies only to sinks owned by organizations and folders.When the value of 'intercept_children' is true, the following restrictions apply: The sink must have the include_children flag set to true. The sink destination must be a Cloud project.Also, the following behaviors apply: Any logs matched by the sink won't be included by non-_Required sinks owned by child resources. The sink appears in the results of a ListSinks call from a child resource if the value of the filter field in its request is either 'in_scope("ALL")' or 'in_scope("ANCESTOR")'.

disabledboolean

Optional. If set to true, then this sink is disabled and it does not export any log entries.

destinationstring

Required. The export destination: "storage.googleapis.com/[GCS_BUCKET]" "bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/datasets/[DATASET]" "pubsub.googleapis.com/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/topics/[TOPIC_ID]" "logging.googleapis.com/projects/[PROJECT_ID]" "logging.googleapis.com/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/locations/[LOCATION_ID]/buckets/[BUCKET_ID]" The sink's writer_identity, set when the sink is created, must have permission to write to the destination or else the log entries are not exported. For more information, see Route logs to supported destinations (https://docs.cloud.google.com/logging/docs/export/configure_export_v2).

outputVersionFormat'VERSION_FORMAT_UNSPECIFIED' | 'V2' | 'V1'

Deprecated. This field is unused.

writerIdentitystring

Output only. An IAM identity—a service account or group—under which Cloud Logging writes the exported log entries to the sink's destination. This field is either set by specifying custom_writer_identity or set automatically by sinks.create and sinks.update based on the value of unique_writer_identity in those methods.Until you grant this identity write-access to the destination, log entry exports from this sink will fail. For more information, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations (https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/granting-roles-to-service-accounts#granting_access_to_a_service_account_for_a_resource). Consult the destination service's documentation to determine the appropriate IAM roles to assign to the identity.Sinks that have a destination that is a log bucket in the same project as the sink cannot have a writer_identity and no additional permissions are required.

includeChildrenboolean

Optional. This field applies only to sinks owned by organizations and folders. If the field is false, the default, only the logs owned by the sink's parent resource are available for export. If the field is true, then log entries from all the projects, folders, and billing accounts contained in the sink's parent resource are also available for export. Whether a particular log entry from the children is exported depends on the sink's filter expression.For example, if this field is true, then the filter resource.type=gce_instance would export all Compute Engine VM instance log entries from all projects in the sink's parent.To only export entries from certain child projects, filter on the project part of the log name:logName:("projects/test-project1/" OR "projects/test-project2/") AND resource.type=gce_instance

descriptionstring

Optional. A description of this sink.The maximum length of the description is 8000 characters.

namestring

Optional. The client-assigned sink identifier, unique within the project.For example: "my-syslog-errors-to-pubsub".Sink identifiers are limited to 100 characters and can include only the following characters: upper and lower-case alphanumeric characters, underscores, hyphens, periods.First character has to be alphanumeric.

createTimestring google-datetime

Output only. The creation timestamp of the sink.This field may not be present for older sinks.

resourceNamestring

Output only. The resource name of the sink. "projects/[PROJECT_ID]/sinks/[SINK_NAME] "organizations/[ORGANIZATION_ID]/sinks/[SINK_NAME] "billingAccounts/[BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID]/sinks/[SINK_NAME] "folders/[FOLDER_ID]/sinks/[SINK_NAME] For example: projects/my_project/sinks/SINK_NAME
