GCP Logging and Error Reporting
I am learning about the google cloud platform, and came across following services from GCP
Cloud Logging - https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs
Error Reporting - https://cloud.google.com/error-reporting
Based on the documentation, Cloud logging collects log from many GCP Services, stores them and provide a way to query the log. I also noticed that, some log entries are marked with "ERROR" severity level.
"Error reporting" documentation says - Error Reporting counts, analyzes, and aggregates the crashes in your running cloud services
Does that mean.. If there is any "ERROR" in a Service, both "Cloud Logging" and "Error Reporting" captures that? And if that is the case, why do we even need "Error Reporting".. I mean, if Error Reporting captures the same logs as Cloud Logging, then why can't we use Cloud Logging for storing and analyzing these logs? is my understanding correct?
