Stackdriver 将来自 GKE 的应用程序日志解析为 textpayload 而不是 jsonpayload

Question

Can anyone suggest how to make stackdriver parse logs to json payload. Logs in stackdriver from application running in GKE are considered as textpayload, even if they are in json format. What are the points parser consider to mark log as textpayload or json payload?

Example in the below image the log message from application is in json with severity=error . Still, it is considered a text payload. Also, severity is marked as INFO even if error message and error severity.

So how to update my logs so that they are treated as jsonpayload instead of a textpayload.

First check that your GKE clusters are using the default cluster logging and monitoring setup as described here: https://cloud.google.com/stackdriver/docs/solutions/gke/managing-logs

Google Cloud Logging supports Structured Logging and has various ways to send these logs. For recognizing JSON logs collected from stdout, ensure that it follows the schema found in the documentation: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/structured-logging
