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

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