IssueTracker

This feature request aims to enhance the visibility of firewall rule logs for the Standard version of App Engine. Currently, this functionality is available for the Flexible version of the service but not for Standard. Enabling access to firewall rule logs in the Standard App Engine environment would greatly enhance monitoring capabilities and facilitate debugging and security management processes.

What You Would Like to Accomplish:

The primary goal is to have access to logs detailing the activity of firewall rules within the Standard App Engine environment. This would enable users to monitor traffic, detect anomalies, and troubleshoot issues related to network access control more effectively.

How This Might Work:

The implementation could involve integrating the logging functionality for firewall rules within the Standard App Engine environment into the existing Log Explorer interface. Users would be able to filter and view logs specific to firewall rule activities, including allowed and denied traffic, source and destination IPs, timestamps, and any associated metadata.

Reasons Why Alternative Solutions Are Not Sufficient:

Currently, there are no alternative solutions available for accessing firewall rule logs within the Standard App Engine environment. While it is possible to monitor network traffic using other tools and services, having native integration within the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) ecosystem would streamline the monitoring and management process, eliminating the need for additional third-party tools or custom integrations.

Other Information:

As of now, there are no known workarounds or alternative methods for accessing firewall rule logs in the Standard App Engine environment. This feature request is based on the existing capabilities provided for the Flexible version of App Engine and aims to extend similar functionality to the Standard version.
