GCP Logging Link

A GCP Logging Link is a Cloud Logging resource that continuously streams the log entries stored in a specific Log Bucket into an external BigQuery dataset. By configuring a link you enable near-real-time analytics of your logs with BigQuery without the need for manual exports or scheduled jobs. Links are created under the path

projects|folders|organizations|billingAccounts / locations / buckets / links

and each link specifies the destination BigQuery dataset, IAM writer identity, and lifecycle state.
For further details see Google’s official documentation: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/projects.locations.buckets.links

Supported Methods​

  • GET: Get a gcp-logging-link by its "locations|buckets|links"
  • LIST
  • SEARCH: Search for gcp-logging-link by its "locations|buckets"

gcp-big-query-dataset​

A logging link targets exactly one BigQuery dataset; Overmind establishes this edge so you can trace which dataset is receiving log entries from the bucket.

gcp-logging-bucket​

The logging link is defined inside a specific Log Bucket; this relationship lets you see which buckets are sending their logs onwards and to which destinations.
