Google Stackdriver Log Level

Question

Setting up Google Stackdriver Registration in one of the GCE virtual machines and everything works except Log Level. Used the log_level parameter in the file

/etc/google-fluentd/config.d/tomcat.conf

as stated in http://docs.fluentd.org/articles/in_tail but even then in the Console Log Viewer it is not possible to view the log at different levels. Is there any specific way to configure the fluentd agent for Google Cloud?

Answer 1

The Google Cloud output plugin for fluentd currently uses the severity field to indicate the log level. See this issue for details. There is an open request to make it customizable.
