# Cloud Logging documentation [Read product documentation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/logging/docs/overview.md.txt) **Cloud Logging** is a fully managed service that allows you to store, search, analyze, monitor, and alert on logging data and events from Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services. Using [Bindplane](https://bindplane.com/google), you can also collect this data from over 80 additional applications, on-premises systems, and hybrid cloud systems. Logging includes storage for logs through [log buckets](https://docs.cloud.google.com/logging/docs/buckets.md.txt), a user interface called the [Logs Explorer](https://docs.cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/logs-viewer-interface), and [an API](https://docs.cloud.google.com/logging/docs/reference/api-overview.md.txt) to manage logs programmatically. Logging lets you read and write log entries, query your logs, and control how you route and use your logs.
