Troubleshooting response errors

If you don't get a successful response from a request to your Cloud Endpoints Frameworks API, you can use Cloud Logging in the Google Cloud console to help troubleshoot.

Viewing logs

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Logging> Logs Explorerpage.

   Go to the Logs Explorer page

2. From the project drop-down list at the top of the page, select the Google Cloud project in which you created your API.

3. Select GAE Applicationand All logs.

4. Adjust the time range until you see a row that shows an error.

5. Click Expand Allto see the entire log for the error.

The following section provides troubleshooting information for specific error messages. If you are unable to fix the issue, copy one of the log entries that shows the error and paste it in a text file. Include the log in any communication that you have with Google.

503 Service Unavailable

App Engine might take a few minutes to respond successfully to requests. If you send a request and get a 503 error, wait a few minutes and try the request again. If you still don't get a successful response, check the Cloud Logging logs. The following are some error messages that you might see in the Cloud Logging logs.

404 Not Found

If you recently migrated to Endpoints Frameworks version 2, and you get the 404 Not Found error message, see the following sections to troubleshoot the issue:

• Java: Troubleshooting
• Python: Troubleshooting

Issues with the example Invoke-WebRequest

In some versions of Windows PowerShell, the example Invoke-WebRequest in the tutorials fails. We have also received a report that the response contained a list of unsigned bytes that had to be converted to characters. If the example Invoke-WebRequest didn't return the expected result, try sending the request using another application. Following are a few suggestions:

• Start Cloud Shell , and follow the Linux steps in the tutorial that you were using to send the request.

• Use a third-party application such as the Chrome browser extension Postman (offered by www.getpostman.com ). When creating the request in Postman:

  • Select POST as the HTTP verb.
  • For the header, select the key content-type and the value application/json .
  • For the body, enter: {"message":"hello world"}

  • Enter the URL for the sample application. For example:

     https://example-project-12345.appspot.com/_ah/api/echo/v1/echo 
    

• Download and install curl , which you run in the Command prompt. Because Windows doesn't handle double quotation marks nested inside single quotation marks, you have to change the --data option in the example, as follows: --data "{\"message\":\"hello world\"}"

What's next

• Get started using the Logs Explorer .

• Learn how to route logs .

• Use filters for advanced filtering, such as getting all requests with a latency greater than 300 milliseconds.
