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
I am not having issue with stdout messages. I am just talking about its
limited capability.
Why don’t you support structured logging when there is already
logback(which is de facto standard) appender and fluentd agents running on
app engine nodes which is very performent.
It would be much simpler
If you are having issues with your stdout and stderr messages not appearing
in Stackdriver Logs Viewer, you can directly log to Stackdriver Logging via
the Google Cloud Java Client for Logging
