I am aware of using google-cloud-python library to export Stackdriver logging entries to BigQuery by doing the following steps:
1) Grant WRITER access to [email protected] for BigQuery target dataset;
2) Create a sink for BigQuery
So my question is that Are there any other ways to let Stackdriver logging having write access to BigQuery to make a sink?
Reference: https://googleapis.github.io/google-cloud-python/latest/logging/usage.html#export-to-bigquery
I am wondering if I have to use [email protected] for setting up the access?
I believe you don't have to, based on the documentation what you need is to setup the authentication is either gcloud auth application-default login or using a service account json key file. You just need to add the [email protected] as writer to the BQ dataset.
I understand you are looking for different alternatives (using google-cloud-python library does work) to export stackdriver logs to BigQuery.
In Stackdriver Logging API documentation you can find a guide on how to implement this with example codes in C# , GO, JAVA, NODE.JS , PHP , PYTHON and RUBY
