While troubleshooting an intermittent 500 response, you open the Logs Explorer and filter for the affected service. You locate a suspicious log line and need to inspect the httpRequest and jsonPayload sections to confirm the request headers that were received. Which action in the Logs Explorer lets you reveal the complete structured payload of that single log entry without leaving the console?
Change the view from Table to JSON using the Display menu at the top of Logs Explorer.
Toggle the Flattened fields option in the filter bar so every field appears in the table view.
Export the entry with gcloud logging read --format=json and open it in Cloud Shell.
Click the caret / down-arrow icon next to the log row to expand the entry's details.
In the Logs Explorer, each log line is shown in a compact table view. Selecting the downward-pointing arrow (or clicking anywhere on the row) expands the entry, displaying every field-timestamp, resource labels, httpRequest, jsonPayload, and so on-in its original JSON structure. Switching display modes, enabling flattened fields, or using gcloud would require additional steps and would not reveal the payload inline for the selected entry.
