Stackdriver Extractor fails

To fix this problem, I fixed the API key. I accidentally left out the double quotes when I edited the file.

That brings me to the next point. Why did I edit the file? They provide a nice easy utility for adding an API key. We should use it.

/opt/stackdriver/stack-config --api-key DEADBEEFDEADBEEFDEADBEEFDEADBEEF...

It will even restart the services for you.

As for how I got to this place to begin with... I accidentally copy/pasted a partial API key. It wasn't obvious because I missed a little bit at the end. Little bits matter.

As for why I could not get this working by changing the scope to all API access, I don't know. I thought that would work as I really don't want to have to mess around with any more statefulness in my VM disk than I have to. But I'll take a working solution at this point.

One final bit of advice... if you are here, you might need to also find your API key. You can find it here:

https://app.google.stackdriver.com/settings/accounts/agent/

If one isn't there, you can create it.

Good luck!
