This section describes the system logging processes available for Application Operators (AO) as part of the Logging solutions of Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped.
Operational logs record conditions, changes, and actions as you manage ongoing operations in GDC. These logs help test and debug applications.
When the Logging pipeline is up and running, the platform automatically collects organizational logs from GDC standard components running by default in any cluster. Those components include, among others, backup, billing, and networking so that you can perform operations such as network monitoring. You can also collect and query operational logs from your project's applications and services for data observability.
GDC uses a custom resource to configure system logging processes. So, to collect operational logs from your project's applications and services, this section describes how to deploy the LoggingTarget custom resource in your project and manage logging targets.
