Is logging to console fully supported for app engine flexible?

[E EE]

Hi, I am using java on app engine flexible. Logging via java.util.logging as explained in the docs.

The logs that show up in the console are plain text output, as if STDOUT was sent directly to the console line by line without any other information (so each line is a log record)

 

For example log level is missing, so I cannot filter by log level in the console, like I can on log messages sent by nginx.

 

Is there any additional configuration that I have to do, like add a google specific handler?

Is fully formatted log supported only in standard environment?

[E EE]

A follow up question:

If this is a simple pipe of STDOUT, why do I have to use java.util.logging? All log frameworks have the ability to write to stdout.

Hi E,

 Looking at our public docs App Engine flexible supports application logging via stdout with no particular framework mentioned (although standard does).  Can you provide a link for the docs which require java.util.logging for flexible environment?

Thanks,
 Zach

Docs are for standard, not always clear which is which. So Flexible has no logger unless I implement one using the API of whichever log framework I choose (other than stdout).

You should be able to use the logging library in google-cloud-java, and get structured output.  I've added a few folks from the Java team who can share more!
