Google Cloud Platform plugin for fluentd¶ ↑

fluent-plugin-google-cloud sends logs to the Google Cloud Platform logging API.

Installation¶ ↑

The gem is hosted at RubyGems.org. You can install the gem as follows:

$ gem install fluent-plugin-google-cloud

Configuration¶ ↑

<match **>
  type google_cloud
  auth_method <method>
  private_key_email <address>
  private_key_path <path>
</match>

Supported options:

• auth_method: either ‘compute_engine_service_account’ or ‘private_key’ (default: compute_engine_service_account)

• private_key_email: email address of your project’s service account.

• private_key_path: path to a file containing service account credentials.

private_key_email and private_key_path are required if auth_method is ‘private_key’, otherwise they are ignored.

Caveats¶ ↑

This plugin currently only supports being run on a Google Compute Engine VM because it grabs its authentication token as well as important metadata from the VM metadata server.
