Ok this might be embarrassing to admit but when we used GKE about 8 months ago we tried to do this but we couldn’t get our own logging to get anything from the pods. Maybe the tech lead was biased and wanted to go to AWS all along. I’ll have to take another look at it because I liked the service. What I didn’t like is that I on many occasions saught help from Google but got no response. We didn’t pay for support but just an email a few days later from support showing the methods to disable it and maybe a look into why our on cluster logging tools weren’t ingesting anything would have been nice.

What support did you contact if you weren't paying? Support isn't perfect but I find it hard to believe you got no response at all. Staff and community is also active on the gce-discussion [1] group and StackOverflow [2].

I forget who I emailed. I got a response that they’d look into it but a month later nothing.

It looks like you can disable logging for specific clusters if needed https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/loggi..., or set up log exclusion to reduce costs https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/exclusions/

The logs are still available in the cluster (not hijacked) and you can configure your own export mechanism.
