Log Export Sinks
Configure project-level log sinks to route Cloud Logging entries to Cloud Storage and Pub/Sub, verify routing end-to-end, and compare export patterns.
Lab Overview
Master log export sinks, the mechanism for routing Cloud Logging entries out of log buckets to external destinations for archival, analysis, and event-driven processing.
You will:
- Create a log sink routing logs to a Cloud Storage bucket with correct IAM permissions
- Create a log sink routing logs to a Pub/Sub topic for streaming event processing
- Verify log routing end-to-end by writing test entries and inspecting destinations
- Compare Storage vs Pub/Sub export patterns and their operational tradeoffs
- Clean up all sinks and destination resources
Log sinks are fundamental to compliance archiving, SIEM integration, and event-driven automation on Google Cloud. This lab gives you the hands-on experience the ACE exam expects.
