How can I write a Cloud Logging query to search for logs from Pods in a namespace called “default” in a GKE cluster named “test”?
You should get a response something like the following, allowing for variation due to the built-in creativity of LLMs, of course.
To write a Cloud Logging query to search for logs from Pods in a namespace called “default” in GKE cluster called “test”, you can use the following query: [1]
resource.type=”k8s_container”
resource.labels.namespace_name=”default”
resource.labels.cluster_name=”test”

This query will search for all logs from Pods in the “default” namespace in the “test” GKE cluster. You can also use the logName field to specify the type of logs you want to search for. For example, the following query will search for all stdout logs from Pods in the “default” namespace in the “test” GKE cluster:
resource.type=”k8s_container”
resource.labels.namespace_name=”default”
resource.labels.cluster_name=”test”
logName=”projects/PROJECT_ID/logs/stdout”

Where PROJECT_ID is the ID of your Google Cloud project.

Precisely my cup of tea
And once you’ve run the command, you can click on “Explain this query” in each of the logs to get help understanding each of the log entries.
If you’re trying out the Vision Api, you might notice a log entry like the one below:
