You just created a brand-new Google Cloud project for a development team. Before any resources are provisioned, the team lead asks which Google Cloud Observability APIs still need to be manually enabled so that VM instance logs and metrics will start appearing automatically in the Cloud console. What should you reply?
You must enable the Cloud Monitoring API manually; Cloud Logging is enabled automatically.
Neither API is available until you first create a dedicated metrics workspace in Cloud Monitoring.
Both Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring APIs must be enabled manually before logs or metrics are collected.
No additional APIs need to be enabled; Cloud Logging and Cloud Monitoring are active by default in new projects.
In every newly created Google Cloud project, the Cloud Logging API and the Cloud Monitoring API are turned on automatically. Because these core observability services are enabled by default, logs from supported services and metrics from resources such as Compute Engine VMs are collected without any additional API-enablement step. Creating a metrics workspace or granting elevated IAM roles is helpful for day-to-day operations but is not required just to start ingesting data.
