Full name: projects.locations.instances.logTypes.parsers.activate
parsers.activate switches the customer to use requested parser, This will set the Parser state to ACTIVE. This method prevents parser activation when the customer: 1. Is currently using a Custom parser, but wants to activate a Prebuilt release parser - parsers.deactivate is the preferred method here. 2. Wants to activate a Prebuilt release_candidate parser. - parsers.activateReleaseCandidateParser is the preferred method here.
