I wanted to document some of the more complicated Stackdriver logging filters I'm using. I'd prefer to put the comments near the relevant sections of the filter instead of a separate file, but I can't find any method for adding comments in the docs. Is there a way?
If there isn't an official way, does anyone have a hack to add no-effect statements with arbitrary text?
It is now possible to have line comments by using the -- prefix:
-- All of our target users are emitted by Compute Engine instances.
resource.type = "gce_instance"
-- Looking for logs from "alex".
jsonPayload.targetUser = "alex"
