Correct answer: Create a Cloud Logging log export to Pub/Sub..
Why this is the answer
Exporting Cloud Logging entries to Pub/Sub is the correct approach for real-time forwarding to a third-party processor. Pub/Sub is a messaging service designed for asynchronous, real-time data ingestion and delivery. Third-party applications can subscribe to the Pub/Sub topic and receive log entries as they are generated, enabling immediate processing. Exporting to BigQuery or Cloud Storage is suitable for analytical purposes or long-term archival, respectively, but not for real-time forwarding. While a Cloud Function could technically read logs and send them, it introduces unnecessary complexity, latency, and operational overhead compared to the native Pub/Sub export feature, which is designed for this exact use case.
