Fundamental 6 Steps 5 hours 32 Credits
Stackdriver Logging is a fully managed service that performs at scale. It can ingest application and system log data from thousands of VMs and, even better, analyze all that log data in real time. In this fundamental-level Quest, you learn how to store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on log data and events from Google Cloud Platform. The labs in the Quest give you hands-on practice using Stackdriver Logging to maximize your learning experience and provide insight on how you can utilize Stackdriver Logging to your own GCP Environments.
Prerequisites:
Students enrolling in this Quest will benefit from prior experience via the labs in the GCP Essentials Quest or the Stackdriver Quest.Quest Outline
Fundamentals of Stackdriver Logging
In this lab, you use Stackdriver Logging to accumulate application logs, filter to find the required log, create logs based metrics for advanced analysis, examine the Audit Logs use case, and export for compliance and advanced analysis.
Using BigQuery and Stackdriver to Analyze BigQuery Usage
In this lab you view the BigQuery logs inside Stackdriver, setup a sink to export them back into BigQuery and then use SQL to analyze the logs.
Logging with Stackdriver on Kubernetes Engine
In this lab you will deploy a sample application to Kubernetes Engine that forwards log events to Stackdriver Logging.
Monitoring and Logging for Cloud Functions
In this hands-on lab we take a look through some of the information provided by the Stackdriver Monitoring tools, and teach some of the concepts you will need to know to take advantage of Stackdriver Monitoring effectively.
Using Google Stackdriver Debug, Traces, Logging and Logpoints
In this lab, you'll tour some of the unique Stackdriver features enabling you to monitor and troubleshoot your applications with production debugging, API call tracing, and dynamically-added logpoints.
Creating and Alerting on Logs-based Metrics
In this hands-on lab we take a look through some of the information provided by the Stackdriver Monitoring tools, and teach some of the concepts you will need to know to take advantage of Stackdriver Monitoring effectively.
