NAME
    gcloud alpha logging metrics create - create a logs-based metric

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha logging metrics create METRIC_NAME
        (--config-from-file=CONFIG_FROM_FILE
          | [--description=DESCRIPTION --log-filter=LOG_FILTER
          : --bucket-name=BUCKET_NAME]) [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) Create a logs-based metric to count the number of log entries that
    match a filter expression. Logs-based metrics can also be used to extract
    values from logs and create a distribution of the values.

EXAMPLES
    To create a metric that counts the number of log entries with a severity
    level higher than WARNING, run:

        $ gcloud alpha logging metrics create high_severity_count \
            --description="Number of high severity log entries" \
            --log-filter="severity > WARNING"

    Detailed information about filters can be found at:
    https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/logging-query-language

    To create a metric that uses advanced features like distribution or
    user-defined labels, run:

        $ gcloud alpha logging metrics create my_metric \
            --config-from-file=$PATH_TO_FILE

    The config file can be in YAML or JSON format. Detailed information about
    how to configure metrics can be found at:
    https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/v2/rest/v2/projects.metrics#LogMetric.

    To create a bucket log-based metric, run:

        $ gcloud alpha logging metrics create my_bucket_metric \
            --description="DESCRIPTION" --log-filter="LOG_FILTER" \
            --bucket-name="BUCKET_NAME"

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     METRIC_NAME
        The name of the new metric.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     Data about the new metric.

     Exactly one of these must be specified:

       --config-from-file=CONFIG_FROM_FILE
          A path to a YAML or JSON file specifying the logs-based metric to
          create.

       A group of arguments to specify simple counter logs-based metrics.

         --description=DESCRIPTION
            The metric's description.

            This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments
            in this group are specified.

         --log-filter=LOG_FILTER
            The metric's filter expression.

            This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments
            in this group are specified.

         --bucket-name=BUCKET_NAME
            The Log Bucket name which owns the log-based metric.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
    --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
    This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
    command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
    project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
    access allowlist. These variants are also available:

        $ gcloud logging metrics create

        $ gcloud beta logging metrics create
