✨ NAME ✨

logstreamtail — bestie, it's literally called logstreamtail. That's the whole name. Short, sweet, iconic. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

logstreamtail

That's it. That's the whole vibe. No positional args, no subcommands, just flags and dreams. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — logstreamtail is a command-line situation, and everything it does is controlled by the flags below. Every single one of them. We're going through all of them, no skipping, because that's what a main character does. 🌟

A lil legend before we dive in: [required] means you literally have to pass it or nothing works, and [optional] means it's a nice-to-have, live your truth. 🫶

🌸 The options, in order, no cap 🌸

  • --help — Shows you how to use this thing and then dips out. Usage displayed, exit initiated. Byeeeee. 👋
  • --version — Spits out the version info and bounces. [optional] ✨
  • --resource-name — The LogStream write resource name. [required] — yes bestie, REQUIRED required. No resource name, no service. Periodt. 🚨
  • --remote — The URL for all services. [optional] 🌐
  • --instance — The instance for all services. [optional] 🦋
  • --server-cert — Server TLS certificate for all services, PEM-encoded. [optional] 🔐
  • --client-key — Client private TLS key for all services, PEM-encoded. [optional] (the original page actually says "far all services" here and honestly? we respect the typo, it's part of the lore 💀)
  • --client-cert — Client TLS certificate for all services, PEM-encoded. [optional] 🎀
  • --access-token — Authentication token for all services (JWT, OAuth token etc, you know the drill), and it gets included as an HTTP Authorization bearer token. [optional] 🔑
  • --token-reload-interval — Default access token refresh timeout. [optional] ⏰
  • --googleapi-auth — Use GoogleAPIAuth for all services. [optional] 🌈
  • --credential-helper — Credential helper executable for all services. [optional] 🧚
  • --retry-limit — Retry limit for gRPC errors for all services. [optional] 🔁
  • --retry-delay — Retry delay for gRPC errors for all services. [optional] ⏳
  • --retry-on-code — The gRPC status code(s), as string(s), to retry on for all services, e.g. 'UNKNOWN', 'INTERNAL'. [optional] 🩹
  • --request-timeout — Timeout for gRPC requests for all services. Set it to 0 to disable the timeout entirely. [optional] ⏱️
  • --min-throughput — Minimum throughput for gRPC requests for all services, in bytes per seconds. The value may be suffixed with K, M, G or T. [optional] 🚀
  • --keepalive-time — The gRPC keepalive pings period for all services. Set it to 0 to disable keepalive pings. [optional] 💓
  • --load-balancing-policy — The gRPC load balancing policy for all services. Valid options are 'round_robin' and 'grpclb'. [optional] ⚖️
  • --log-level — Log level. Your choices are debug, error, info, trace, warning. [optional, default = "error"] 📝
  • --verbose — Sets the log level to 'debug'. Instant yapper mode, we love to see it. [optional] 🗣️
  • --logstream-server — [Deprecated] Use --remote instead. Like, bestie, it's deprecated, please move on. 🙈 [optional]
⚠️ heads up: --resource-name is [required], and --logstream-server is [Deprecated] — those two are the ones that actually matter for your own good. The rest are all [optional], except --help which just does its thing and exits. 💖

and that's the whole page, babe. logstreamtail 1.4.16, August 2026 💜 — go forth and tail those logstreams, you gorgeous little sysadmin. 🦋✨
