Google Appengine: programmatic access to request log files?

Question

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/whatisgoogleappengine.html

"An app can read files, but only files uploaded with the application code."

I am assuming this precludes one from programmatically reading the request log files - is that correct?

Thank You,

Geoff

Answer 1

I didn't try it but I believe that one can issue an HTTP request and get the logs, like appcfg.py does

Answer 2

There are two types of logs: HTTP request logs and the entries that are stored to the App Engine logger. As Dmitry mentions, it is possible to retrieve the HTTP request logs via appcfg.py, however, there's currently no interface for retrieving logs programmatically.

It'll be a good idea to add the enhancements to this issue in the issue tracker and star it: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=76
