## About Cloud Logging


[Cloud Logging][product-docs] allows you to store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on log data and events from Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services. Using the BindPlane service, you can also collect this data from over 150 common application components, on-premises systems, and hybrid cloud systems. BindPlane is included with your Google Cloud project at no additional cost.

See the [Cloud Logging client library docs][javadocs] to learn how to
use this Cloud Logging Client Library.

To make requests to Cloud Logging, you must create a service object with valid credentials.
You can then make API calls by calling methods on the Logging service object. The

The service object should be granted permissions to make API calls.
Each API call describes the permissions under Authorized Scopes section.
See [Logging API](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest) to find the required list of permissions or consult with [Access control guide](https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/access-control) for predefined IAM roles that can be granted to the Logging service object.

#### Creating a metric

With Logging you can create logs-based metrics. Logs-based metrics allow to keep track of the number
of log messages associated to specific events. Add the following imports at the top of your file:

```java
import com.google.cloud.logging.Metric;
import com.google.cloud.logging.MetricInfo;

#### Add a Cloud Logging handler to a logger

You can also register a `LoggingHandler` to a `java.util.logging.Logger` that publishes log entries
to Cloud Logging. Given the following logger:

```java
private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class.getName());
```

You can register a `LoggingHandler` with the code:

```java
LoggingHandler.addHandler(LOGGER, new LoggingHandler());
```

After that, logs generated using `LOGGER` will be also directed to Cloud Logging.

Notice that you can also register a `LoggingHandler` via the `logging.properties` configuration
file. Adding, for instance, the following line:
```

```java
com.google.cloud.examples.logging.snippets.AddLoggingHandler.handlers=com.google.cloud.logging.LoggingHandler
