How to see the logs if we have deployed our Spring Boot Application in Google Cloud Platform?
We have developed a Spring Boot application and deployed in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It is Compute Engine and we have Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS as Operating System and Apache Tomcat 8.5.3 as Web Server.
In this application, we have used System.out.println() statements and sometimes we are throwing the exceptions as well.
Now I want to see the logs which are generated by either
System.out.println()or through theExceptionsbut how to see the console inGoogle Cloud Platform?

You cannot see the logs in GCP directly via System.out.println or Exceptions
There are two ways to achieve this:
Possible but not recommended: Use filewriter to write logs into a file, access the file and read it
Recommended: Add logger into your application.
For this, include apache commons logging into your application's pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>
Write logs as per requirement:
@RestController
public class ExampleController {
private static final Log LOGGER = LogFactory.getLog(ExampleController.class);
@RequestMapping("/<custom-url>")
public String function() {
String message = "Example message written to the log";
String secondMessage = "Second example written to the log";
LOGGER.info(message);
LOGGER.info(secondMessage);
return message;
}
}
You can use Logger into as many functions and as many controllers you like, it will be added to the same Logger and will be displayed collaboratively.
Now you will be able to see logs in your GCP's project Log tab :)
P.S. This will file log as info. You can use error or other classification options available to classify your log message type. For that, replace info with any following options to classify:
Any log level will display all types of logs.

Suppose, I have 30 Controllers then do I need to write this lineprivate static final Log LOGGER = LogFactory.getLog(ExampleController.class);in all the Controllers?

Yes, you will need to . Just the classname would change. E.g.ExampleController.classwill get replaced by<ControllerClassName>.class

in the gcp console, when you log in to project, you can find logger in the menu as this: imgur.com/a/z0oCn5c
