All of the Apigee hybrid services that run in your Kubernetes
cluster output operational log information. This log information is
useful for troubleshooting and debugging. For example, if a service
pod's status indicates a problem, you can look at the log files for
that pod to gain insight into the issue. Apigee support may request
you to provide log information to diagnose and solve a problem.
About logging
Each runtime plane service writes log data to stdout/stderr, and
Kubernetes writes this data to the host filesystem. A logs
collector for hybrid runs on each hybrid node. The
collector is a DaemonSet (replicated once and only once per node) whose job
is to collect the written log data and export it to the
Cloud Logging
application associated with your Google Cloud account.
The following diagram shows the log data collection process:
