Question

You configured Cloud VPN with dynamic routing via Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). You added a custom route to advertise a network that is reachable over the VPN tunnel. However, the on- premises clients still cannot reach the network over the VPN tunnel. You need to examine the logs in Cloud Logging to confirm that the appropriate routers are being advertised over the VPN tunnel. Which filter should you use in Cloud Logging to examine the logs?

Options

  • Aresource.type= "gce_router"
  • Bresource.type= "gce_network_region"
  • Cresource.type= "vpn_tunnel"
  • Dresource.type= "vpn_gateway"

Explanation

When Cloud VPN uses dynamic routing via BGP, it is the Cloud Router - not the VPN tunnel itself - that manages BGP sessions and advertises routes. In Cloud Logging, Cloud Router activity is captured under the resource type 'gce_router'. Filtering on this type lets you inspect which BGP route advertisements are being sent and received, helping you confirm whether your custom route is actually being advertised to the on-premises peer. The 'vpn_tunnel' and 'vpn_gateway' resource types log tunnel connectivity events (IKE negotiation, tunnel up/down), not BGP routing decisions. 'gce_network_region' is not a valid log resource type for this purpose.
