Audits Cloud Logging costs for a Google Cloud project: the charges for log entries written to log buckets, the services, log streams and severities that drive them, and the log sinks that route them. Reconciles Cloud Billing export costs with Cloud Monitoring volume metrics, and generates a FinOps report with charts and copy-paste exclusion filters. Use when auditing Cloud Logging spend, finding logging waste, identifying top logging contributors, generating log cost reduction reports, or creating log sink exclusion filters. Don't use for querying log entries (use cloud-logging-query-generation), configuring Cloud Monitoring alerts, or querying metrics/traces.

# Cloud Logging Finops
**Non-interactive runs.** When no user can answer (e.g. a scheduled or
automated run), ask nothing: audit the project named in the request, or the
active gcloud project; use `--billing-mode=search`; cover all five report topics
(Step 2.5); and never enable an API or upgrade a log bucket. Put anything that
needed a user (a disabled API, a missing role, the upgrade advisory) in the
report instead.
## Usage Attribution
**MUST READ**: Before executing any `gcloud`, REST API, or MCP command, you
MUST read and follow the instructions in
[Usage Attribution](references/attribution.md).
