Class Sink (3.23.6) 

public class Sink extends SinkInfo

Cloud Logging sinks can be used to control the export of your logs. Each sink specifies the export of a set of log entries to a certain destination. A sink consists of a name, unique to the project, a filter for choosing the log entries to export and a destination for the log entries.

Sink destination can either be a Google Cloud Storage bucket (see SinkInfo.Destination.BucketDestination, a Google Cloud BigQuery dataset (see SinkInfo.Destination.DatasetDestination) or a Google CloudPub/Sub topic (see SinkInfo.Destination.TopicDestination).

Sink adds a layer of service-related functionality over SinkInfo. Objects of this class are immutable. To get a Sink object with the most recent information use #reload or #reloadAsync. See Also: About Sinks
