1. Open the GCP console and navigate to the Load balancing section.
2. Select the Load Balancer for which you want to enable logging.
3. Click on the Edit button on the top of the Load Balancer details page.
4. Scroll down to the Backend configuration section and click on the pencil icon next to the Global backend configuration.
5. In the Global backend configuration settings, scroll down to the Logging section and click on the toggle button to enable logging.
6. Select the appropriate log type from the drop-down menu.
7. Click on the Save button to save the changes.

​

1. Open the Cloud Shell in the GCP Console.
2. Run the following command to enable logging for the backend service:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   gcloud compute backend-services update [BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME] --global --enable-logging
   

   Replace [BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME] with the name of the backend service for which you want to enable logging.
3. Once the command is executed successfully, the logging will be enabled for the backend service.
4. You can verify the logging is enabled by running the following command:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   gcloud compute backend-services describe [BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME] --global | grep loggingEnabled
   

   This command should return the value loggingEnabled: true.

1. Import the necessary libraries:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google.oauth2 import service_account

2. Set up the credentials using the service account key file:

credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file('<path_to_service_account_key_file>')

3. Create a service object for the Compute Engine API:

service = build('compute', 'v1', credentials=credentials)

4. Get the project ID:

project_id = '<your_project_id>'

5. Get the list of all the backend services:

backend_services = service.backendServices().list(project=project_id).execute()

6. Loop through the backend services and enable logging for each one:

for backend_service in backend_services['items']:
    backend_service_name = backend_service['name']
    backend_service_url = f'/compute/v1/projects/{project_id}/global/backendServices/{backend_service_name}'
    
    # Get the current backend service configuration
    backend_service_config = service.backendServices().get(project=project_id, backendService=backend_service_name).execute()
    
    # Check if logging is already enabled
    if 'loadBalancingScheme' in backend_service_config and 'logConfig' in backend_service_config['loadBalancingScheme']:
        print(f"Logging is already enabled for backend service {backend_service_name}")
    else:
        # Enable logging
        backend_service_config['loadBalancingScheme']['logConfig'] = {'enable': True}
        request = service.backendServices().update(project=project_id, backendService=backend_service_name, body=backend_service_config)
        request.execute()
        print(f"Logging has been enabled for backend service {backend_service_name}")

7. Run the script and verify that logging has been enabled for all the backend services.
