Google Cloud Endpoints Tips #1: Check Endpoint Deployment Status

December 2017: Please note that this post has not been updated for a while and there could be differences in terms of commands, screenshots and problems in running the code.

While deploying Cloud Endpoints to a live appspot.com domain, it is important to know if your endpoints deployed OK or not. The Logs Viewer of App Engine provides a good way for you to determine that.

Do the following:

1. Deploy your App Engine project containing Cloud Endpoints.
2. Once deployed successfully, go to the App Engine Administration Console and go to Logs Viewer.
3. Scroll through the recent logs by time-stamp and you shall see something that looks like this:

I have 5 Endpoints in my project and for each of the endpoints, it will provide a OK message as shown above.

The above quick tip is referenced from the documentation and it also mentions that in case there was a problem deploying the Endpoint, you should see an ERROR instead of OK.
