How to use MonitoredResource in stackdriver logging

[daiyueweng]

Hi, I am wondering how to use MonitoredResource in Stackdriver logging in Python. I found that MonitoredResource is available in REST API, JAVA, NODE.JS and C#, but I couldn't find it in Python. Since all log entries are written to global resource by default, I am wondering how to change that to a specific resource in Python, an example will be great.

cheers

@daiyueweng Unfortunately, there's currently no way to do this at the top-level documented API. We are planning to fix this.

In the meantime, your best bet is to use the lower-level APIs. If you take a look at client.py, you'll notice the code duplexes between a GRPC level (called GAX, which is a helper library for GRPC) _gax.py and an HTTP client _http.py. They both implement a write_entries resource that takes a MonitoredResource string. So you can set it by using that object directly.

Closing this as duplicate of #2673 , if you have more questions you can re-open but for the sake of organization, it's better to move the discussion to that issue.
