Make sure that your configuration specifies a service account that has the Logs Writer role (
roles/logging.logWriter
) and Monitoring Metric Writer (roles/monitoring.metricWriter
) on your project.Also, make sure that you choose a service account from the same project as your configuration.
Start a workstation.
To view container logs for this workstation, navigate to the Logs Explorer and update the query to the following:
resource.type="gce_instance" labels.workstation_id=WORKSTATION_ID
Replace WORKSTATION_ID with the name of the workstation that you want to look up.
You can also filter by
labels.workstation_cluster_id
orlabels.workstation_config_id
