NAME
    gcloud logging metrics update - updates the definition of a logs-based
        metric

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud logging metrics update METRIC_NAME
        (--config-from-file=CONFIG_FROM_FILE
          | --description=DESCRIPTION --log-filter=LOG_FILTER)
        [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    Updates the description or the filter expression of an existing logs-based
    metric.

EXAMPLES
    To update the description of a metric called high_severity_count, run:

        $ gcloud logging metrics update high_severity_count \
            --description="Count of high-severity log entries."

    To update the filter expression of the metric, run:

        $ gcloud logging metrics update high_severity_count \
            --log-filter="severity >= WARNING"

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

    For advanced features such as user-defined labels and distribution metrics,
    update using a config file:

        $ gcloud logging metrics update high_severity_count \
            --config-from-file=$PATH_TO_FILE

    The config file should be in YAML 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.
    Any top-level fields in the LogMetric definition that aren't specified in
    the config file will not be updated in the metric.
