Google Cloud Logging C++ Client Library

This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for interacting with Cloud Logging, a service for real-time log management and analysis at scale.

While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The quickstart/ directory contains a minimal environment to get started using this client library in a larger project. The following "Hello World" program is used in this quickstart, and should give you a taste of this library.

For detailed instructions on how to build and install this library, see the top-level README.

#include "google/cloud/logging/v2/logging_service_v2_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 2) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id\n";
    return 1;
  }

  namespace logging = ::google::cloud::logging_v2;
  auto client = logging::LoggingServiceV2Client(
      logging::MakeLoggingServiceV2Connection());
  auto const project = google::cloud::Project(argv[1]);
  for (auto l : client.ListLogs(project.FullName())) {
    if (!l) throw std::move(l).status();
    std::cout << *l << "\n";
  }

  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
  return 1;
}
