This will create a public issue which anybody can view and comment on.

Please provide as much information as possible. At least, this should include a description of your issue and steps to reproduce the problem. If possible please provide a summary of what steps or workarounds you have already tried, and any docs or articles you found (un)helpful.

Problem you have encountered: Certificate Manager logs are completely absent from Log Explorer, though metrics are available and populates as expected.

Querying logName = "projects/<<PROJECT_ID>>/logs/certificatemanager.googleapis.com" return nothing on multiple projects that have been using Certificate Manager for at least 6 months.

Metrics explorer with the query sum(avg_over_time(certificatemanager_googleapis_com:project_certificates{monitored_resource="certificatemanager.googleapis.com/Project"}[${__interval}])) shows 28 certificates exist though.

What you expected to happen: Logs should exist for certificate expiration, according to the documentation found here:

For Google-managed certificates CLOSE_TO_EXPIRY logs are generated daily, starting 5-10 days before expiration, depending on the certificate's lifetime and renewal process. For self-managed certificates too, CLOSE_TO_EXPIRY logs are generated daily, starting 10 days before expiration.

Steps to reproduce: Run logName = "projects/<<PROJECT_ID>>/logs/certificatemanager.googleapis.com" on log explorer.

Other information (workarounds you have tried, documentation consulted, etc): I have checked through the CLI as well by running gcloud logging read "resource.type=certificate" --project=<<PROJECT_ID>> with no luck.
