Viewing Logs
You can view the Cloud Function logs using either:
// By default, the client will authenticate using the service account file // specified by the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable and use // the project specified by the GCLOUD_PROJECT environment variable. See // https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-node/#/docs/google-cloud/latest/guides/authentication const Logging = require('@google-cloud/logging'); function getLogEntries () { // Instantiates a client const logging = Logging(); const options = { pageSize: 10, filter: 'resource.type="cloud_function"' }; // Retrieve the latest Cloud Function log entries // See https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/gcloud-node/#/docs/logging return logging.getEntries(options) .then(([entries]) => { console.log('Entries:'); entries.forEach((entry) => console.log(entry)); return entries; }); }
To view logs with the gcloud tool, use the logs read command:
gcloud functions logs read
To view the logs for a specific function, provide the function name as an argument:
gcloud functions logs read <FUNCTION_NAME>
You can even view the logs for a specific execution:
gcloud functions logs read <FUNCTION_NAME> --execution-id EXECUTION_ID
For the full range of log viewing options, view the help for logs read:
gcloud functions logs read -h

How can I see the console.log prints when I'm running a Google Cloud function? Is there a cloud console?
exports.helloWorld = function helloWorld(req, res) { // Example input: {"message": "Hello!"} if (req.body.message === undefined) { // This is an error case, as "message" is required. res.status(400).send('No message defined!'); } else { // Everything is okay. console.log(req.body.message); res.status(200).send('Success: ' + req.body.message); } };
