HTTP API connector An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go to https://logging.googleapis.com and carry an OAuth 2.0 token obtained with Sign in with Google on the cloud edition, or an API key or custom header on a self-hosted installation, which offers no sign-in flow.

Connect Google Cloud Logging

In Xpander Chat, open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and search for Google Cloud Logging. The connect dialog asks for a connection name and whether the connection is for the Organization (one shared account) or Personal (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person’s own sign-in; see whose credential a shared agent uses. Google Cloud Logging connects with Sign in with Google Cloud Logging: you authorize in the browser and xpander stores the OAuth token; the agent never sees it, and the token is attached at the moment a skill is called. Calls go to https://logging.googleapis.com.

​
Give an agent the Google Cloud Logging skill

Once Google Cloud Logging is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and choose Google Cloud Logging. Enable only the action groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person’s sign-off under These actions need approval. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see Skills.
