App Engine Logging has a lot to be desired

[Govind Rai]

Logging is essential for any application. Stackdriver should at the very least match the basic functionality of AWS Cloudwatch logging.

At the bare minimum can we have:

1) Have all logs related to a request be categorized under a single request

2) Have all logs related to a request reference a unique request id so all logs pertaining to a single request become easily searchable

3) Show a start/stop auto generated log which shows the request that came in, and how long it took to fulfill the request/how much resources it used

Currently, logs from separate containers are jumbled up with one another and makes looking at the logs a nightmare. Plus there is no way to easily get all the logs from a certain request.

Maybe you guys are working on this already? If so could we get an update of what Logging is to look like in the near future?

Please, and thank you.
