Feature

Starting with version 2.66.0, the Ops Agent can export your logs and metrics by using the OpenTelemetry-based Telemetry API rather than by using the Cloud Logging API and Cloud Monitoring API. During the preview Preview period, you can opt-in to using the Telemetry API. For more information, see Use the Telemetry API.

April 22, 2026

3.24.0 (2026-01-26)

Features

January 29, 2026

Feature

You can now export your Crashlytics data and (optionally) Firebase sessions data to Cloud Logging. Once the data is exported, it's also available to Cloud Monitoring, so you can filter your logs, build custom dashboards, set up custom alerts, and even export the data to other services. For information about how to export your Crashlytics data, see Export Crashlytics data to Cloud Logging, and for information about how you can use this data, see What can you do with Crashlytics data in Cloud Logging.

January 26, 2026

Change

To support correlation between log and trace data, the following changes have been made:

  • The required format for the LogEntry.trace field has been relaxed. The preferred format for this field is the trace ID. However, you can continue to provide the full resource name. For more information, see LogEntry.

  • If you open the Trace Details flyout page by using options provided in a log entry, then the resources listed in the default trace scope are searched for the trace data.

  • If you open the Logs Explorer page by using options on span data, then the resources listed in the default log scope are searched for log data.

To learn more about default scopes, see Configure observability scopes for multi-project queries.

Feature

You can now install and manage the Ops Agent on virtual machines across zones in your Google Cloud project by using global VM Extension Manager extension policies. Global and zonal extension policies can keep the installed version of the agent current, keep a specified version of the agent installed, and other tasks. For more information, see Install and manage the Ops Agent by using VM Extension Manager policies.
