  • credentials (oauth2client.client.OAuth2Credentials or NoneType) – The OAuth2 Credentials to use for the connection owned by this client. If not passed (and if no http object is passed), falls back to the default inferred from the environment.
  • http (httplib2.Http or class that defines request().) – An optional HTTP object to make requests. If not passed, an http object is created that is bound to the credentials for the current object.
list_entries(projects=None, filter_=None, order_by=None, page_size=None, page_token=None)[source]#

Return a page of log entries.

See: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/api/ref_v2beta1/rest/v2beta1/entries/list

Parameters:
