How to get the google logs and their associated trace using only the "gcloud logging read"

[ggaure]

Hi Community

I am trying to get the Google Logs and their associated Trace Logs using the CLI/API.

When I use the Log Explorer I can see them both, but the CLI only returns the Logs (no Trace Logs).

Is it possible to get both programmatically in a simple way?

Or

I have to use additional queries using the spanid?

Thanks
