Management console
CLI
API
- In the management console, go to the folder where you want to view a list of log groups.
- Go to Cloud Logging.
- In the left-hand panel, select Groups.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed 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 get a list of log groups in the folder, run this command:
yc logging group list
Result:
+----------------------+---------+----------------------+--------+
| ID | NAME | FOLDER ID | STATUS |
+----------------------+---------+----------------------+--------+
| af36gk8qv2********** | default | aoek6qrs8t********** | ACTIVE |
+----------------------+---------+----------------------+--------+
To get a list of log groups, use the list REST API method for the LogGroup resource or the LogGroupService/List gRPC API call.
Request example
The example below uses grpcurl. To run this example, authenticate with the API and clone the cloudapi repository.
Run this query:
grpcurl \
-rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $(yc iam create-token)" \
-d '{"folder_id": "<folder_ID>"}' \
-import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
-import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
-proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/logging/v1/log_group_service.proto \
logging.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 yandex.cloud.logging.v1.LogGroupService.List
