[fmugambi]

You are designing the logging structure for a non-containerized Java application that will run on GAE. Which of the following options is recommended and will use the least number of steps to enable your developers to later access and search logs?

1. Have the developers write log lines to stdout and stderr
2. Have the developers write log lines to a file named stackdriver.log, install and run the Stackdriver agent beside the application
3. Have the developers write log lines to a file named stackdriver.log
4. Have the developers write logs using the App Engine Java SDK
5. Have the developers write log lines to a file named application.log, install the Stackdriver agent on the VMs, configure the Stackdriver agent to monitor and push application.log
6. Have the developers write log lines to stdout and stderr, install and run the Stackdriver agent beside the application
