Google Cloud Observability provides the following agents for collecting logs from Linux and Windows VM
instances.
Which agent should you choose?
Ops Agent:
The primary and preferred agent for collecting telemetry from your
Compute Engine instances. This agent combines logging and metrics into a single agent,
providing YAML-based configurations for collecting your logs and metrics, and features
high-throughput logging. You can configure the Ops Agent to collect logs
from supported third-party applications.
Legacy Logging agent:
Streams logs from common third-party applications and
system software to Cloud Logging. You can configure the agent to stream additional
logs.
