Google Cloud Logging — Cost Optimisation

GCP services may come with additional logging costs, but GCP offers several options to minimize them, including changing log levels, using a different destination to save costs, and using log exclusion filters. The latter allows users to exclude unwanted logs from being generated and ingested.

By adding a log exclusion filter in GCP's Logging Service, users can exclude logs generated by certain services, with specific levels, and even create a workaround to allow certain jobs to run while excluding others. By doing so, the log volume size can be reduced by up to 99.9%, resulting in significant cost savings.
