Getting “/dev/log” in the “gcloud app logs tail” stream

In the browser cloud console for my Google App Engine app, I can choose to see the logs for /dev/log and stderr which gives me all of the log entries that I'm expecting to see.



However, when I use the command line gcloud app logs tail to stream the logs in my terminal, I can't get it to give me the /dev/log entries.



The docs say the default list of logs include: stderr,stdout,crash.log,nginx.request,request_log



So the /dev/log must be represented by some other identifier, but I can't find any docs on what it might be. I've tried a few guesses, but none work.



How can I can the terminal to stream the same logs I'm getting in my browser?

          You can use command like gcloud logging read to interact with Stackdriver logging & get a non streamed version of those logs. Setup the Stackdriver GUI with the logs you wish to see, then convert to an advanced filter. You can then paste the advanced filter as is, in quotations after gcloud logging read. Examples in gcloud logging read documentation. I will get back to you in a comment on this post as to whether you can get the /dev/log logs with the gcloud app logs tail command. I will update on Saturday
