Getting a log group ID of an L7 load balancer

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at May 13, 2025

To get the ID of the Yandex Cloud Logging log group receiving logs from the L7 load balancer:

Management console
CLI
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder with your load balancer.
  2. Select Application Load Balancer.
  3. Click the load balancer name you need.
  4. Under Log settings, click the log group name in the Cloud Logging log group field.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for getting information about an L7 load balancer:

    yc alb load-balancer get --help
    
  2. Run this command with your load balancer name specified:

    yc alb load-balancer get <load_balancer_name>
    

    Result:

    id: a5d88ep483cm********
    name: test-balancer2
    folder_id: aoe197919j8e********
    status: ACTIVE
    region_id: ru-central1
    network_id: c64l1c06d151********
    allocation_policy:
      locations:
      - zone_id: ru-central1-a
        subnet_id: buc4gsmpj8hv********
    log_group_id: eolul9ap0bv0********
    created_at: "2021-04-26T12:12:13.624832586Z"
    log_options:
      log_group_id: e23ujjda632o********
    

    You will see the Cloud Logging log group ID in the log_group_id field under log_options. Note that the log_group_id field following the subnet_id field contains a different ID referring to the outdated logging service.

Use the get REST API method for the LoadBalancer resource or the LoadBalancerService/Get gRPC API call.

You will see the Cloud Logging log group ID in the logGroupId field under logOptions. Note that the logGroupId field outside logOptions contains a different ID referring to the outdated logging service.

If you kept the Default log group value in the Cloud Logging log group field when creating an L7 load balancer, do the following to get its ID:

Management console
CLI
  1. In the management console, navigate to the folder with your load balancer.
  2. Select Cloud Logging.
  3. Save the default log group ID.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To get the default log group ID, run this command:

yc logging group get \
  --name=default \
  --folder-id=<folder_ID>

Where:

  • --name: Default log group name, i.e., default.
  • --folder-id: ID of the folder with your load balancer.

Result:

id: e23qfbb01na0********
folder_id: b1gvgqhc5745********
cloud_id: b1g3clmedscm********
created_at: "2021-08-07T10:40:55.412Z"
name: default
description: Auto-created default group
