How do I query GCP logs Explorer?

I am using GCP logging explorer for my project.

It is working fine, the problem is I can't find a way to query the logs, I found this video and I think it explains the problem but I can't seem to find any solution. The question is how do I query the logs in GCP logging explorer? Please help me. If you are interested in the logs related to your app (not just all the logs in a project), then you can add the source parameter to filter the logs in the app in GCP logging explorer.

What are the categories of GCP logs?

GCP log formats represent log types for different categories of service logs.

When a category is selected, the GCP Console logs all logs in that category, and then filters those logs in various ways. For example, if you select the "Network" category, it displays logs such as DNS traffic (such as request logs), or it could display request logs to the Network Load Balancer (NLB). By default, logs in this category are stored with data loss prevention, but you can change the retention settings for different categories and adjust the severity level for any existing logs. When a category is selected, all GCP Console logs are immediately displayed for that category. You can also scroll through the categories.

For each category, you see three icons at the top left corner of the screen: The red icon changes from yellow to green when all log entries in that category have been filtered for severity level 3 or below. The orange icon changes to yellow when log entries are filtered for severity level 2. The blue icon indicates that no logs have been filtered for this category. If you select multiple categories, the filtering is applied across all selected categories. For example, let's say you select "Network" and "Network Security." The Network security category includes SSL/TLS requests. So, the GCP Console displays SSL/TLS requests for the Network security category even though there are other GCP Console logs in that category.

This section describes each category of logs. If you select a category, the available filter options for that category appear at the top right of the screen.

Note that some categories have additional filter options, such as Search for Trace Logs, Traffic Logs for HTTP/HTTPS Requests, Network Traffic for the Network category, and DNS Traffic for the Network Load Balancer category. Trace logs. The Trace logs category is used to view all data for the time range between a given start time and an end time. It contains event logs that have a start time and end time associated with it.

This category includes the following types of logs: Application-specific logs. Examples include app logs for your applications, API error logs, system event logs, and application activity monitoring logs.

GCP provides Application Performance Management service which allows you to collect logs and analysis for your app and cloud services.

You can use Cloud Storage to store your log files. There are three ways to collect GCP logs:

When you deploy an app using the Google Cloud Console. When you deploy your app using the Cloud SDK. When you deploy your app using a custom script. All three methods are explained below.

You can choose between two types of logs: Event logs, which help you debug your app. Logs from the server. You can see the APM logs in the Google Cloud Console. To view APM logs in the Google Cloud Console, follow these steps: Open the App & Service Dashboard in the Cloud Console. Select the app from the list. Click Apps and Services. In the APM section, click View Logs. In the APM Logs section, click New APM Logs. For Log type, select Event Log. For Log group, select APM.

Open a terminal window and run the following commands: gcloud components update.json --iam-account logserviceaccount@projectname.iam gserviceaccount
