How can I get logs for Cloud Functions that violate a Stackdriver alerting policy?

I am using Cloud Functions on Google Cloud Platform. I have set up a Stackdriver alerting policy to send me notifications when those functions exceed an execution time threshold.

I would like to specifically get the logs for function instances that violate this policy. But when I click on the "Logs" link on the Policy Violation page of the Stackdriver user interface, it shows me all the logs for that function.

How can I filter Cloud Function logs to only get logs of instances which violate a Stackdriver alerting policy?

Update:

To clarify, my intention is to get the text logs of instances that violate a policy, rather than a summary metric.

If you want to filter on Cloud Function logs of an instance which violate a stackdriver alerting policy, then you need to create a "custom metric" (Stackdriver > Logs-based metrics > Create Metric) to get the execution time of a particular function.

You can find more detailed information in this article, Getting Google Cloud Functions times in Stackdriver.

However, the custom metric will parse the logs and give Stackdriver a number you can put in a chart. After that, you can set an alert for that chart.
