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.

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

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.

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

Note

It may take up to 60 seconds for records to appear in the log group because the system needs time to process them.

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