## Request body

- LogExclusion — Specifies a set of log entries that are filtered out by a sink. If your Google Cloud resource receives a large volume of log entries, you can use exclusions to reduce your chargeable logs. Note that exclusions on organization-level and folder-level sinks don't apply to child resources. Note also that you cannot modify the _Required sink or exclude logs from it.
  - `filter` string — Required. An advanced logs filter (https://docs.cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/building-queries#queries-by-expression) that matches the log entries to be excluded. By using the sample function (https://docs.cloud.google.com/logging/docs/view/logging-query-language#sample), you can exclude less than 100% of the matching log entries.For example, the following query matches 99% of low-severity log entries from Google Cloud Storage buckets:resource.type=gcs_bucket severity<ERROR sample(insertId, 0.99)
  - `createTime` string, google-datetime — Output only. The creation timestamp of the exclusion.This field may not be present for older exclusions.
  - `updateTime` string, google-datetime — Output only. The last update timestamp of the exclusion.This field may not be present for older exclusions.
  - `disabled` boolean — Optional. If set to True, then this exclusion is disabled and it does not exclude any log entries. You can update an exclusion to change the value of this field.
  - `description` string — Optional. A description of this exclusion.
  - `name` string — Optional. A client-assigned identifier, such as "load-balancer-exclusion". Identifiers are limited to 100 characters and can include only letters, digits, underscores, hyphens, and periods. First character has to be alphanumeric.
