Triage and Remediation
Remediation
Using Console
Using Console
To remediate the misconfiguration “Sinks Should Be Configured For Log Entries” in GCP using the GCP console, you can follow the below steps:
- Login to the GCP console.
- Navigate to the Logging section by clicking on the Navigation menu on the top left corner and selecting “Logging” under “Operations”.
- In the Logging section, click on the “Sinks” tab on the left-hand side menu.
- You will see a list of sinks that are currently configured. If there are no sinks, click on the ”+ Create Sink” button to create a new sink.
- In the “Create Sink” page, provide a name for the sink and select the destination where you want the logs to be exported. You can choose from various GCP services such as Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, etc.
- Under the “Filter” section, select the log entries that you want to export. You can choose from various filter options such as severity, log name, resource type, etc.
- Click on the “Create Sink” button to create the sink.
- Once the sink is created, you can verify that the logs are being exported by checking the destination service that you selected in step 5.
Using CLI

- Identify the sink that needs to be configured for log entries.
-
Run the following command to update the sink with the required configuration:
Replace
