The user running the agent must have permission to read the files targeted by the Filelog receiver's configuration. 8 9 ## Prerequisites 10 11 See the [prerequisites](../README.md) doc for Google Cloud prerequisites. 12 13 ## Examples 14 15 **Raw log file** 16 17 Filelog can read raw log files (without parsing) and forward to Google Cloud Logging. This a 18 basic implementation. Generally, you will want to parse the log entries in order to make searching 19 easier within Google Cloud Logging. 20 21 See [config.yaml](./config.yaml). 22 23 **Regex** 24 25 Filelog can read raw log files, parse them with regex, and forward to Google Cloud Logging. 26 27 See [config_regex.yaml](./config_regex.yaml) for an example using Redis. 28 29 **Json** 30 31 Filelog can read raw log files, parse them as json, and forward to Google Cloud Logging. 32 33 See [config_json.yaml](./config_json.yaml) for an example using arbitrary json.
