Solving big problems often requires a combination of the right people and the right tools. SRE, DevOps, and IT operations teams in organizations both large and small are using Google Cloud's built-in logging service, Cloud Logging, to troubleshoot problems faster, spot trends more easily, and scale operations more effectively. They leverage the power of BigQuery and Cloud Logging to help them address operational and security issues at scale.

In this content, we'll talk about the benefits of Cloud Logging Log Analytics (powered by BigQuery), a feature that allows you to search, collect, and transform all log data, including application, network, and audit data, at no additional cost to existing Cloud Logging customers.

Same logs as Log Analytics, same cost, more value

Log Analytics brings new benefits to Cloud Logging to search, collect or convert logs at query time thanks to a new user experience optimized for analyzing log data.

‍

Central log recording - Collects and centrally stores log data in a dedicated Log Bucket, allowing multiple stakeholders to manipulate their data from the same data source. You do not need to create duplicate copies of the data.

Cost advantage - Log Analytics effectively saves cost by enabling data to be reused across the organization.

Ad-hoc log analysis - Enables instant query-time log analysis without the need for complex preprocessing.

Scalable platform - Log Analytics can scale for observability and efficiently perform petabyte-scale aggregation for observability using the serverless BQ platform.

‍

Leveraging BigQuery, Log Analytics breaks down data silos, helping security, network, developer, and even business teams collaborate using a single copy of data.
