How can I configure external logs to GCS bucket in Airbyte open source

To configure external logs to a GCS bucket in Airbyte, you need to follow these steps: 1. Create a Google Cloud Storage Bucket: Access the Google Cloud Console and select or create a project where you want to create the bucket. Navigate to "Storage" > "Browser" in the left-side menu. Click on "Create bucket", give your bucket a unique name, select a region for the bucket, and configure other settings such as storage class and access control according to your requirements. Finally, click "Create". The bucket will be referenced as

<bucket_name>

. 2. Create a Google Cloud Service Account: In the Cloud Console, navigate to "IAM & Admin" > "Service Accounts". Click "Create Service Account", enter a name, description, and then click "Create". Assign the role of "Storage Object Admin" to the service account by selecting it from the role list. After creating the service account, click on it, go to the "Keys" tab, and then click "Add Key" > "Create new key". Choose JSON as the key type and click "Create". The key file will be downloaded automatically to your computer. Encode GCP credentials file contents using Base64. This key will be referenced as

<encoded_key>

. 3. Update the Environment Variables: Update the following Environment Variables in the global section and the worker section of your

values.yaml

file with the GCS Logging Information.

yaml global:    state:      storage:        type: "GCS"       logs:      storage:        type: "GCS"      gcs:        bucket: "<bucket_name>"        credentials: "/secrets/gcs-log-creds/gcp.json"        credentialsJson: "<encoded_key>"    worker:     extraEnv:      - name: STATE_STORAGE_GCS_BUCKET_NAME        value: <bucket_name>      - name: STATE_STORAGE_GCS_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS        value: /secrets/gcs-log-creds/gcp.json      - name: CONTAINER_ORCHESTRATOR_SECRET_NAME        value: <%RELEASE_NAME%>-gcs-log-creds      - name: CONTAINER_ORCHESTRATOR_SECRET_MOUNT_PATH        value: /secrets/gcs-log-creds

4. Run the Helm Command: Run the following command to install or upgrade Airbyte with the updated

values.yaml

file.

bash helm upgrade --install %RELEASE_NAME% airbyte/airbyte -n <NAMESPACE> --values /path/to/values.yaml --version 0.54.69

@kapa.ai I ma running Airbyte on GCP compute engine not on kubernetes , dont see any values.yml file

The

values.yaml

file is typically used when deploying Airbyte on Kubernetes using Helm. Since you're running Airbyte on a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Compute Engine instance, you won't see a

values.yaml

file. Instead, you'll be using a

docker-compose.yaml

file and an

.env

file for your configuration. If you want to run Airbyte with its configs in an external Cloud SQL Postgres instance, you'll need to add a Google Cloud SQL Proxy container to the docker-compose environment to make your config database accessible to Airbyte. Here's an example of how you can replace the

db

service in `docker-compose.yaml`:

yaml cloudsql:   image: <http://gcr.io/cloud-sql-connectors/cloud-sql-proxy:2.6.0|gcr.io/cloud-sql-connectors/cloud-sql-proxy:2.6.0>   container_name: airbyte-cloudsql-proxy   command: --address 0.0.0.0 --credentials-file /secrets/airbyte-sa.json your-gcp-project:us-central1:airbyte?port=5432   volumes:     - ./airbyte-sa.json:/secrets/airbyte-sa.json   networks:     - airbyte_internal   ports:     - 5432:5432   restart: always

And update the

.env

to reflect the following:

env DATABASE_USER=airbyte DATABASE_PASSWORD=your-password-here DATABASE_HOST=cloudsql DATABASE_PORT=5432 DATABASE_DB=airbyte DATABASE_URL=jdbc:<postgresql://cloudsql:5432/airbyte>

This setup assumes that a service account JSON key (for a service account with the

cloudsql.client

role) is stored in a file named

airbyte-sa.json

in the root Airbyte folder (with

docker-compose.yaml

,

run-ab-platform.sh

, etc.) For more details, you can refer to this [discussion](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/discussions/29379) on the Airbyte GitHub page.

@kapa.ai your reponse is about external db , I am looking to externalise logs to GCS bucket

A message from kapa.ai

@Adnan are you using docker-compose? If so, I would recommend moving to

abctl

the documentation can be found here: https://docs.airbyte.com/using-airbyte/getting-started/oss-quickstart Once you are using

abctl

you can use the instructions here to configure GCS for external storage: https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/integrations/storage
