Introduction
This article describes how to view resource severity and error log fields in our Google Cloud project over time using dashboard.We can use the Logs dashboard to visualize log severity and error metrics for resources in our cloud projects.
Dashboard in Cloud Logging
Dashboard visualizations help us identify system behavior trends, monitor workloads, and diagnose and fix problems.
Log Dashboard is pre-configured. We cannot change the resource or log-based metrics displayed on the dashboard.
The Logs Dashboard provides information only for resources that generate log data.
View the Logs Dashboard
Go to Cloud Logging and select Logs Dashboard to open the Logs Dashboard.
The Logs Dashboard is organized into two charts for each resource type. One graph shows all logs related to a particular resource type by severity and provides an overview of how log severity is distributed over time. The other graph shows only error logs for that resource type.
The following screenshots are examples of these graphs.

The dashboard focuses on a number of resource types, each represented by two graphs. Chart pairs are pre-ordered as follows:
- Google Kubernetes Engine
- App Engine
- Compute Engine
- Cloud SQL
- BigQuery
- Cloud Load Balancing
View and analyze logs
- Go to Cloud Logging in the google cloud console and select Logs Dashboard
- Select a log severity type on the chart.
- Click on View logs to open the Logs Explorer and to run the corresponding query at the same time

Select a time range
By default, graphs on the Logs dashboard display data for a period of one day.
To change the time range, use the time range menu on the toolbar. We can select a predefined value or enter a custom duration.
