Downloading Logs

App Engine maintains a log of messages that your application emits using the
syslog() function from the PHP standard library, as well as other messages printed
to the standard error stream.
App Engine also records each request in the log. Each log severity level
(4 for CRITICAL, 3 for ERROR, 2 for WARNING, 1 for INFO, 0 for DEBUG)
has a fixed buffer size that controls the amount of log information you can
access. Normally, you use logging features more at lower log levels; thus, the
time window is smaller for log events at these levels.
To browse your app's logs of the last 90 days, you can also use the
Logs page in the Google Cloud console.
Requesting the logs
The appcfg tool is now shut down.
The replacement, Google Cloud CLI, does not support the ability to
download logs; however, you can view your logs using the
gcloud app logs commands.
