Adding records

Note

You can create a trigger that will invoke a function in Cloud Functions or run a container in Serverless Containers whenever records are added to the log group.

CLI
API

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To add records to a log group, run this command:

  • Linux, MacOS:
    yc logging write \
      --group-name=default \
      --message="My message" \
      --level=INFO \
      --json-payload='{"request_id": "1234"}'
    
  • Windows (cmd):
    yc logging write ^
      --group-name=default ^
      --message="My message" ^
      --level=INFO ^
      --json-payload="{"request_id": "1234"}"
    
  • Windows (PowerShell):
    yc logging write `
      --group-name=default `
      --message="My message" `
      --level=INFO `
      --json-payload='"{ \"request_id\": \"1234\" }"'
    

Where:

  • --group-name: Name of the log group where you want to add records. If you leave it unspecified, the system will add records to the default log group in the current folder. You can specify --group-id instead of --group-name.
  • --message: Message.
  • --level: Logging level.
  • --json-payload: Additional information in JSON format.

Note

You can skip the --group-name, --message, and --json-payload flags and provide the values, keeping the order, e.g., default "My message" '{"request_id": "1234"}'.

To add records to a log group, use the LogIngestionService/Write gRPC API call.
