Log group in Cloud Logging

A log group is a way of grouping logs of services and custom messages. There are two types of groups:

  • Default.

    The name of the default log group is default. The group is created automatically when a service or application writes logs with the folder ID specified for destination. A user can add records to it manually. If you create a log group named default, it will be the default log group for the folder it was created in.

  • Custom.

    A user can create a log group and add records to it manually.

When adding a record to a log group, you can specify its creation timestamp. The record creation timestamp may differ from the time it was added to the log group. It must satisfy the following conditions:

Current date – 30 days < Record creation timestamp < Current date + 1 day
