An application development team believes their current logging tool will not meet their needs for their new cloud-based product. They want a better tool to capture errors and help them analyze their historical log data. You want to help them find a solution that meets their needs. What should you do?

The correct answer is to direct them to download and install the Google Stackdriver logging agent. Stackdriver Logging (now part of Google Cloud's operations suite) is Google Cloud's native, fully managed logging service designed to capture, store, and analyze logs from applications and infrastructure. The agent collects logs from VMs and sends them to Stackdriver, directly addressing the team's need for better error capture and historical log analysis within a cloud-based product. Sending a list of online resources about logging best practices is too generic and doesn't provide a concrete solution. Helping them define requirements and assess viable tools is a good step, but Stackdriver Logging is the most direct and integrated solution for a Google Cloud environment. Helping them upgrade their current tool doesn't address their belief that the tool won't meet their needs for a new cloud-based product.
