Saving console logs to GCP

Question

I am using nodeJs application in GCP CloudRun environment.
And using console.log to log some of the important information to GCP logging.

I have the below query regarding the logging:

• Will it make any difference in charge/cost if I stringify the logs rather than directly doing console.log.

Thank you

As per documentation, logs are priced by data volume.

So if signifying your logs changes the volume of the logs than yes, it will affect your GCP cost.
