Logging Components Introduction

The client libraries never use logging to report errors, but logging can be enabled to help troubleshoot problems when the last error message does not provide a good enough indication of the root cause.

In general, we abide by the following principles:

Enabling logs

The application needs to do two things to enable logging:

At run-time, setting the GOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE_CLOG to a non-empty value configures a LogBackend that uses std::clog. Likewise, setting the GOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE_TRACING=a,b will enable tracing for components a and b across all client objects. The most common components are auth, rpc, and rpc-streams.

Note that while std::clog is buffered, the framework will flush any log message at severity WARNING or higher.

Example: Logging From Library

Use the GCP_LOG() macro to log from a Google Cloud Platform C++ library:

void LibraryCode(ComplexThing const& thing) {
  GCP_LOG(INFO) << "I am here";
  if (thing.is_bad()) {
    GCP_LOG(ERROR) << "Poor thing is bad: " << thing;
  }
}
Example: Enable Logs to std::clog

To enable logs to std::clog the application can call:

void AppCode() {
  google::cloud::LogSink::EnableStdClog();
}

As previously noted, this can be switched at run-time using the GOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_ENABLE_CLOG environment variable.
