Cloud Logging is a fully managed service that allows you to store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on logging data and events from Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services. Using BindPlane , you can also collect this data from over 50 common application components, on-premise systems, and hybrid cloud systems.

Logging includes storage for logs through log buckets , a user interface called the Logs Explorer , and an API to manage logs programmatically. Logging lets you read and write log entries, query your logs, and control how you route and use your logs.
