For clarity, the fluentd logging agent running as a side-car container in the Flexible environment tails log files in /var/log/app_engine/app and sends them to Stackdriver via the same Stackdriver Logging API. Using the API directly in your application's container would be faster than if your application were to write the logs out to the disk, then wait for the fluentd agent to read it and make the same API call.
Of course it would be much cleaner to keep everything local to stdout and stderr, and this is indeed a valid feature request. Since Google Groups is reserved for general discussions <https://cloud.google.com/support/docs/groups> (and not for reporting issues, feature requests, or code assistance), it is better to continue communicating via the already existing feature request on the Google Github issue tracker <https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-java/pull/2984>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
