Google Cloud Logging plugin for fluentd

fluent-plugin-google-cloud is an output plugin for fluentd which sends logs to the Stackdriver Logging API.

This is an official Google Ruby gem.

Installation

This gem is hosted at RubyGems.org and can be installed using:

$ gem install fluent-plugin-google-cloud

Installing google-fluentd will also install and configure the gem.

To send logs to Google Cloud Logging, specify type google_cloud in a match clause of your fluentd configuration file, for example:

<match **>
  type google_cloud
</match>

No further configuration is required. The plugin uses Google Application Default Credentials for authorization - for additional information see here.

The previously documented parameters auth_method, private_key_email, and private_key_path are removed, and can no longer be used.
