Enable Cloud Logging
Fleet Engine should automatically have logging enabled.
- Open the Logs Explorer.
Enter the following query:
resource.type:"fleetengine.googleapis.com"
If the results for the query list logs, then logging is enabled.
If you don't see any logs listed in the results for this query,
Cloud Logging may not be enabled for your project. To enable
Cloud Logging, contact Google Maps Platform Support.
Enable restricted use logs
In accordance with the Mobility Service Specific Terms, some
of the log data that Fleet Engine generates may only be retained for 30 days.
Fleet Engine labels those logs as TOS_RESTRICTED
and sorts them into a
restricted-retention log bucket, which you must create as shown below.
All other log data is assigned to the default bucket where it can be retained
longer, as defined in the Mobility Service Specific Terms.
See Logs Storage in the Google Cloud
Console about customizing your log buckets and their retention periods.
For analysis, you can join the data from restricted and default logs for a
complete set of log data.
Do the following to enable restricted use logs:
Create a sink and bucket for restricted-use logs, and filter logs into their
appropriate buckets.
Contact support to enable restricted-use logs.
For details, see the following sections.
Create a sink and bucket for restricted logs in your project
In the Logs Explorer, in the left-hand
navigation, open the Log Router page.
Modify the _Default logging bucket to exclude restricted-use logs.
- Under Log Router Sinks, select the _Default logging bucket.
- Choose Edit sink from the Actions menu.
- Go to the Choose logs to filter out of sink section and click the
Add Exclusion button.
- Set the Exclusion filter name to ExcludeRestrictedLogs.
- In the Build and exclusion filter box, paste this filter:
labels.restriction="TOS_RESTRICTED"
- Click Update sink.
Create a restricted logging bucket to store the restricted-use logs. You do
this by creating a sink and bucket for all logs, and then excluding the
non-restricted logs.
- On the Log Router page, towards the top, select
Create sink.
- Fill in the Sink details:
- Name: RestrictedLogs
- Description: Routes Fleet Engine restricted-use logs.
- Click Next.
- Fill in the Sink destination:
- Select Sink service: Logging bucket
- Select log bucket: Select Create new log bucket.
- In the Bucket details dialog, fill in:
- Name: Restricted
- Description: Contains Fleet Engine restricted-use logs.
- Leave the rest as is and click Next.
- Set the Retention period to 30 days. (The retention period must
not exceed 30 days.)
- Click Create bucket.
- Back in the sink creation dialog, leave the Logs to include in sink
section empty.
- In the Logs to filter out of sink section, click Add Exclusion
and fill in:
- Exclusion filter name: ExcludeNonRestrictedLogs
- Exclusion filter:
NOT (resource.type =
"fleetengine.googleapis.com/Fleet" OR resource.type =
"fleetengine.googleapis.com/DeliveryFleet") NOT (labels.restriction
= "TOS_RESTRICTED")
- Click Create sink.
- Go to Google Maps Platform Support
- Click Create Case to start a new support request.
Provide the following information:
- Project ID(s) to enable.
- Email address of the person requesting the change. This person should
have edit access to the Google Cloud Projects you are listing.
Agree to the following by writing Yes: By enabling restricted-use
Google Maps Content in Cloud Logging, you agree to adhere to the
Google Maps Platform terms and Mobility service specific
terms, including caching and permitted use requirements as they relate
to Google Maps Content.
Once the support team handles your request, you will receive a confirmation that
logging has been enabled for your project.
