If your application errors are not showing up in Error Reporting, then use the following steps to troubleshoot.
Before you beginVerify that Error Reporting can analyze your log entries.
Error Reporting is a global service built on Cloud Logging and can analyze log entries when all of the following are true:
To see a list of sinks you have configured, run the following command:
gcloud logging sinks list
The command returns an output similar to the following:
NAME DESTINATION FILTER
_Default logging.googleapis.com/projects/my-team-project/locations/global/buckets/_Default NOT LOG_ID("cloudaudit.googleapis.com/activity") AND NOT LOG_ID("externalaudit.googleapis.com/activity") AND NOT LOG_ID("cloudaudit.googleapis.com/system_event") AND NOT LOG_ID("externalaudit.googleapis.com/system_event") AND NOT LOG_ID("cloudaudit.googleapis.com/access_transparency") AND NOT LOG_ID("externalaudit.googleapis.com/access_transparency")
_Required logging.googleapis.com/projects/my-team-project/locations/global/buckets/_Required LOG_ID("cloudaudit.googleapis.com/activity") OR LOG_ID("externalaudit.googleapis.com/activity") OR LOG_ID("cloudaudit.googleapis.com/system_event") OR LOG_ID("externalaudit.googleapis.com/system_event") OR LOG_ID("cloudaudit.googleapis.com/access_transparency") OR LOG_ID("externalaudit.googleapis.com/access_transparency")
logs-from-samples logging.googleapis.com/projects/my-team-project/locations/global/buckets/sample-bucket (empty filter)
regional_logs logging.googleapis.com/projects/my-team-project/locations/europe-west1/buckets/bucket_for_regional_logs (empty filter)
test-logs logging.googleapis.com/projects/team-b-project/locations/global/buckets/test-bucket (empty filter)
In this example, the source Google Cloud project of the log entries is my-team-project
. As a result:
_Default
, _Required
, and logs-from-samples
sinks because the log bucket is stored by the same project that routes the log entries.test-logs
because the sink in my-team-project
routes the log entries to a log bucket in a different project.Ensure that you have the Google Cloud CLI installed.
Ensure that you have the beta
component enabled for the gcloud CLI.
This section provides troubleshooting support when your error data is written to Cloud Logging buckets, and you rely on Error Reporting to automatically analyze those log buckets.
Generate a sample log entryTo confirm your project settings, you can programmatically generate a log entry that will be picked up by Error Reporting with the following gcloud
command:
gcloud logging write --payload-type=json test-errors-log \
'{"serviceContext":
{"service": "manual-testing"},
"message": "Test Error\n at /test.js:42:42",
"context": {"httpRequest":
{"url": "/test","method": "GET","responseStatusCode": 500}}}'
Then open Error Reporting and confirm that you see the newly created error.
Confirm the log entry formatNavigate to the Cloud Logging page and locate a log entry that contains exception data sent from your application.
Confirm that the log entry uses the expected format.
When using the Error Reporting APIEnable the required API.
Send a test error
Try sending an error to the service manually.
You can report a test error to Error Reporting using the following gcloud
command:
gcloud beta error-reporting events report --service Manual --service-version test1 \
--message "java.lang.TestError: msg
at com.example.TestClass.test(TestClass.java:51)
at com.example.AnotherClass(AnotherClass.java:25)"
You can use a cURL command to test your REST API calls. Replace PROJECT_ID
and API_KEY
with your valid values before sending the following command:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"message":"java.lang.TestError: msg\n\tat com.example.TestClass.test(TestClass.java:51)\n\tat com.example.AnotherClass(AnotherClass.java:25)","serviceContext":{"service":"manual-testing"}}' \
https://clouderrorreporting.googleapis.com/v1beta1/projects/PROJECT_ID/events:report?key=API_KEY
Confirm the sent payload
Ensure that your application is sending exception data to the API in the correct format and that it contains the required attributes.
You log an error by using the message
field of a jsonPayload
, and you expect Error Reporting to capture the error. However, the error data isn't captured.
To resolve this failure, try the following:
Ensure that the jsonPayload
doesn't include a stack_trace
or exception
field. When those fields are present, the message
field isn't evaluated.
Ensure that the structure of the stack trace is in one of the supported programming language formats. The stack trace isn't captured by Error Reporting when an unsupported format is used.
