GCP Logging and Docker

General Discussions
#1

I’m trying to follow the guidelines setup here:

I created a new project in GCP, I enabled billing, I created a service account and granted it the role of Owner and a different service with the RoleWriter role.

It doesn’t matter which role i try to use, i also have the following

/etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/docker-service-override.conf

[Service]
Environment="GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/home/samir/management-credentials.json"

sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart docker

Now, in order to test this i run the following:

docker run -d --log-driver=gcplogs --log-opt gcp-project=docker-test hello-world
06cbf4242338d3c642dce4db51925da967e6eaf39c56c1d8aff66b53c6302820
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to initialize logging driver: unable to connect or authenticate with Google Cloud Logging: rpc error: code = PermissionDenied desc = The caller does not have permission.

What am I missing ?

That’s it! Simple and to the point. Hit ctrl+c to exit.

That doesn’t quiet answer my question, but… Vector looks bad ass. Thanks for the link.

I am facing the same error in gcp.
