google.cloud.logging issue with GAE logs - type.googleapis.com/google.appengine.logging.v1.RequestLog

[Julian Bunn]

I am trying for the first time to use the google.cloud logging feature with our GAE application in order to download log entries.

Here is the simple test I tried:

from google.cloud import logging

from google.cloud.logging import DESCENDING

def main():

    client = logging.Client() 

    for entry in client.list_entries(order_by=DESCENDING):

        print entry

if __name__ == '__main__':

    main()

When executing this (after setting up the gcloud credentials), there seems to be a problem parsing the log entries:

python GetLogsCloud.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "GetLogsCloud.py", line 25, in <module>

    main()

  File "GetLogsCloud.py", line 18, in main

    for entry in client.list_entries(order_by=DESCENDING):

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\cloud\iterator.py", line 219, in _items_iter

    for item in page:

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\cloud\iterator.py", line 163, in next

    result = self._item_to_value(self._parent, item)

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\cloud\logging\_gax.py", line 488, in _item_to_entry

    resource = MessageToDict(entry_pb)

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\protobuf\json_format.py", line 133, in MessageToDict

    return printer._MessageToJsonObject(message)

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\protobuf\json_format.py", line 164, in _MessageToJsonObject

    return self._RegularMessageToJsonObject(message, js)

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\protobuf\json_format.py", line 196, in _RegularMessageToJsonObject

    js[name] = self._FieldToJsonObject(field, value)

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\protobuf\json_format.py", line 230, in _FieldToJsonObject

    return self._MessageToJsonObject(value)

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\protobuf\json_format.py", line 162, in _MessageToJsonObject

    return methodcaller(_WKTJSONMETHODS[full_name][0], message)(self)

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\protobuf\json_format.py", line 266, in _AnyMessageToJsonObject

    sub_message = _CreateMessageFromTypeUrl(type_url)

  File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\google\protobuf\json_format.py", line 341, in _CreateMessageFromTypeUrl

    'Can not find message descriptor by type_url: {0}.'.format(type_url))

TypeError: Can not find message descriptor by type_url: type.googleapis.com/google.appengine.logging.v1.RequestLog.

I'm wondering what the issue is here ... is it because of the type of logging we use on GAE?

Thanks!
