Key features
Real-time log management and analysis
Cloud Logging is a fully managed service that performs at scale and can ingest application and system log data, as well as custom log data from GKE environments and VMs. Cloud Logging allows you to analyze and export selected logs to long-term storage in real time.
Built-in observability at scale
Cloud Monitoring provides visibility into the performance, uptime, and overall health of cloud-powered applications. Collect metrics, events, and metadata from Google Cloud services, hosted uptime probes, application instrumentation, and a variety of common application components.
Monitor and improve your apps performance
Application Performance Management (APM) includes tools to help you reduce latency and cost, so you can run more efficient applications. With Cloud Trace, Cloud Debugger, and Cloud Profiler, you gain insight into how your code and services are functioning and troubleshoot if needed.

Qwiklabs Quest: Google Cloud’s Operations Suite
In this fundamental-level quest, you’ll learn the ins and outs of Google Cloud's operations suite to generate insights into the health of your applications.
Use cases
Integrated logging provides critical insights into platform events for development, DevOps/SRE, and security teams. Ingest logs from Google Cloud services and external sources for short-term operations and long-term log analysis. Use integrated audit logging to perform detailed forensic analysis. Integrate with your third-party logging systems using real-time log exports.
Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring services provide your SRE/DevOps teams with the observability needed to monitor Google Cloud, on-premises, and third-party providers. Logging and Monitoring are integrated with Security Command Center to provide the security and operations teams the insights they need.
Reduce latency and cost by using Application Performance Management tools. Make your applications faster and more reliable whether they are hosted on Google Cloud or not. Use Cloud Trace’s distributed trace to see how requests propagate through your application. Use Cloud Profiler to help identify latency and inefficiency in your code. Troubleshoot your application in production without stopping or slowing down your apps by using Cloud Debugger.
All features
| Log management | Logs Router allows customers to control where logs are sent. All logs, including audit logs, platform logs, and user logs, are sent to the Cloud Logging API where they pass through the log router. The log router checks each log entry against existing rules to determine which log entries to discard, which to ingest, and which to include in exports. |
| Log insights | Error Reporting analyzes and aggregates the errors in your cloud applications. Notifies you when new errors are detected. |
| Proactive monitoring | Cloud Monitoring allows you to create alerting policies to notify you when metrics, health check results, and uptime check results meet specified criteria. Integrated with a wide variety of notification channels, including Slack and PagerDuty. |
| Custom visualization | Cloud Monitoring Dashboards provides default out-of-the-box dashboards and allows you to define custom dashboards with powerful visualization tools to suit your needs. |
| Health check monitoring | Cloud Monitoring provides endpoint checks to web applications and other internet-accessible services running on your cloud environment. You can configure uptime checks associated with URLs, groups, or resources, such as instances and load balancers. |
| Service monitoring | Service Monitoring provides out-of-the-box telemetry and dashboards that allow troubleshooting in context through topology and context graphs, plus automation of health monitoring through SLOs and error budget management. |
| Latency management | Cloud Trace provides latency sampling and reporting for App Engine, including per-URL statistics and latency distributions. |
| Debugging | Cloud Debugger connects your application’s production data to your source code by inspecting the state of your application at any code location in production without stopping or slowing down your requests. |
| Performance and cost management | Cloud Profiler provides continuous profiling of resource consumption in your production applications, helping you identify and eliminate potential performance issues. |
| Security management | Cloud Audit Logs provides near real-time user activity visibility across Google Cloud. |
