Stackdriver Logging
For applications running on Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services.
Try It FreeReal-time Log Management and Analysis
Stackdriver Logging allows you to store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on log data and events from Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Our API also allows ingestion of any custom log data from any source. Stackdriver Logging is a fully managed service that performs at scale and can ingest application and system log data from thousands of VMs. Even better, you can analyze all that log data in real time.
Seamlessly Resolve Issues
Stackdriver Logging is a fully integrated solution that works seamlessly with Stackdriver Monitoring, Trace, Error Reporting, and Debugger. The integration allows you to navigate between incidents, charts, traces, errors, and logs. This helps you quickly find the root cause of issues in your system and applications.
Scalable and Fully Managed
Stackdriver Logging is built to scale and works well at sub-second ingestion latency at terabytes per second. Stackdriver Logging is a fully managed solution that takes away overhead of deploying or managing a cluster, thus allowing you to focus your energy on innovation and building a product.
All Your Cloud Logs In One Place
Whether you are running applications in a multi-cloud environment or migrating from one to the other, Stackdriver Logging lets you manage and analyze log data from AWS as well as Cloud Platform in one place.
Real Time Insights
Analyze high-volume application and system logs in real time with Stackdriver Logging. Combine the power of the Google Stackdriver suite with Cloud Platform’s data and analytics products for advanced log analysis. For example, you can create powerful real-time metrics from the log data and analyze log data in real time in BigQuery.

“ We were sitting on a lot of valuable log data but had been missing insights and there was no good way to gather metrics from them. We experimented with some open source solutions, but it's a lot of work to manage it for the amount of logs we produce. With Stackdriver Logging, we can now add new metrics on a running production system which has helped us diagnose issues and monitor new signals. ”
- Arjen van der Ende, Engineer at Q42

“ At Wix we use Stackdriver Logging and BigQuery to analyze logs of Compute Engine auto-scaled deployments. We get a large volume of syslog data that we send to BigQuery to get insights on system health state and error rates. We generate time series data and integrate it with Stackdriver Monitoring to monitor system performance and business metrics. This provides us with essential insight for the running of our operations. ”
