Import Logs

Import logs help you monitor the detailed status of import activities in the Import API.

Import logs and the Import API are currently available only in the Google Cloud Regions.

Import logs show the history of the last 48 hours of import activities performed by the Import API. These logs help you to do the following:

  • Track the progress of import in the Import API.
  • Check errors and pending actions for you in Import Containers.
