Hello Yannick. Fortunately Kirk provided an answer on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47597013/1265
Apparently the field name I'm looking for is "protoPayload.line.logMessage" which - unfortunately - isn't shown anywhere in the UI. I tried it out and it works as expected. I also suspect (though I didn't try this) that using the google-cloud-logging library (so not the built-in logging adapter) I could emit log messages with special fields that could be aggregated in a more straight-forward manner (without having to rely on the format of the log lines / regexes to parse them): https://googlecloudplatform.github.io/google-cloud-python/latest/logging/logger.html It would be really nice if this feature ("structured logging" integrated with log based metrics / stackdriver) would be offered out of the box, since monitoring is a big part of running an app in production.
