How Do I Check Google Cloud Build Logs Using Logs Explorer

To check Google Cloud Build logs using Logs Explorer, you'll need to have the Logs Explorer feature enabled in your project. This feature allows you to view and analyze your build logs in a centralized location.

Navigate to the Logs Explorer in the Google Cloud Console by clicking on the three horizontal lines in the top left corner, then clicking on "Logging" and finally selecting "Logs Explorer".

Once you're in the Logs Explorer, you can select the specific build logs you want to view by using the query bar at the top. You can filter by build name, timestamp, or other criteria to narrow down your results.

You can also use the "Logs" tab in the Cloud Console to view build logs, but Logs Explorer offers more advanced filtering and analysis capabilities.

To access your Google Cloud build logs, you'll want to check out Logs Explorer. This interface in the Google Cloud console allows you to query and view logs in a more user-friendly way than the command line.

Logs Explorer is a great option if you're not comfortable with the command line. You can download logs in JSON or CSV format, although be aware that there's an export limit of 10,000 events.

To use Logs Explorer, follow these steps:

To view your build results, you'll need to grant the right IAM roles to your principals. Principals require one of the following IAM roles in addition to the Cloud Build IAM permissions.

If your build logs are in a user-specified Cloud Storage bucket, grant the Storage Object Viewer role. This role is specifically designed for viewing storage objects, making it the perfect choice for this scenario.

To summarize, you have two options for granting IAM roles to view build results: Project > Viewer for default Cloud Storage buckets and Storage Object Viewer for user-specified buckets.

Here's a quick reference table to help you keep track of the necessary IAM roles:
