.SH "DESCRIPTION"

After creating a bucket, use a log sink to route logs into the bucket.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To create a bucket 'my\-bucket' in location 'global', run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud logging buckets create my\-bucket \-\-location=global \e
    \-\-description="my custom bucket"
.RE

To create a bucket with extended retention, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud logging buckets create my\-bucket \-\-location=global \e
    \-\-retention\-days=365
.RE

To create a bucket in cloud region 'us\-central1', run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud logging buckets create my\-bucket \-\-location=us\-central1
.RE

To create a bucket with custom index of 'jsonPayload.foo', run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud logging buckets create my\-bucket \e
    \-\-index=fieldPath=jsonPayload.foo,type=INDEX_TYPE_STRING
.RE

To create a bucket with custom CMEK, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud logging buckets create my\-bucket \-\-location=us\-central1 \e
    \-\-cmek\-kms\-key\-name=CMEK_KMS_KEY_NAME
.RE

To asynchronously create a bucket enrolled into Log Analytics, run:

.RS 2m
$ gcloud logging buckets create my\-bucket \-\-location=global \e
    \-\-async \-\-enable\-analytics
.RE



.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fIBUCKET_ID\fR

ID of the bucket to create.


.RE
.sp

.SH "REQUIRED FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-location\fR=\fILOCATION\fR

Location in which to create the bucket. Once the bucket is created, the location
cannot be changed.


.RE
.sp

.SH "OPTIONAL FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-async\fR

Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-cmek\-kms\-key\-name\fR=\fICMEK_KMS_KEY_NAME\fR

A valid \f5kms_key_name\fR will enable CMEK for the bucket.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-description\fR=\fIDESCRIPTION\fR

A textual description for the bucket.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-enable\-analytics\fR

Whether to opt the bucket into Log Analytics. Once opted in, the bucket cannot
be opted out of Log Analytics.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-index\fR=[\fIKEY\fR=\fIVALUE\fR, ...,...]

Specify an index to be added to the log bucket. This flag can be repeated. The
\f5\fIfieldPath\fR\fR and \f5\fItype\fR\fR attributes are required. For example:
\-\-index=fieldPath=jsonPayload.foo,type=INDEX_TYPE_STRING. The following keys
are accepted:

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fBfieldPath\fR
The LogEntry field path to index. For example: jsonPayload.request.status. Paths
are limited to 800 characters and can include only letters, digits, underscores,
hyphens, and periods.

.TP 2m
\fBtype\fR
The type of data in this index. For example: INDEX_TYPE_STRING Supported types
are INDEX_TYPE_STRING and INDEX_TYPE_INTEGER.

.RE
.sp
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-restricted\-fields\fR=[\fIRESTRICTED_FIELD\fR,...]

Comma\-separated list of field paths that require permission checks in this
bucket. The following fields and their children are eligible: textPayload,
jsonPayload, protoPayload, httpRequest, labels, sourceLocation.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-retention\-days\fR=\fIRETENTION_DAYS\fR

The period logs will be retained, after which logs will automatically be
deleted. The default is 30 days.
