Runtime(Operational Logs) Apigee X

[kishore-cl]

Hello,

Does Apigee X sends runtime/operational error logs to Cloud Logging ? Errors encountered with outbound/egress calls(Target Endpoint/Service Callout : 503/504).Apigee Hybrid has this feature of logging errors in GCP Cloud Logging. Thank you.

Hi @kishore-cl ,

Yes — in Apigee X, runtime and operational logs can be sent to Cloud Logging, but you need to explicitly enable and configure it.

By default, Apigee X does not push all 503/504 target or service callout errors automatically into Cloud Logging — only certain platform-level events and metrics.

To capture detailed error logs (including backend failures):
– Set up Apigee X + Cloud Logging integration in your GCP project.
– Configure logging at the environment group or API proxy level, using debug sessions, custom logging policies, or shared flows to capture error conditions and explicitly log them.
