Description

While using GCP dataflow, the default compute engine service account([e-mail]) was accidentally deleted by another user. All the scheduled Dataflow jobs suddenly started failing.

But with Cloud Logging messages,  it's not possible to figure out the reason because the error message on Cloud Logging only shows general error messages:

```
apache_beam.runners.dataflow.dataflow_runner.DataflowRuntimeException: Dataflow pipeline failed. State: FAILED, Error:
Error processing pipeline.

```
While the logs in the internal logging system clearly indicates as:`not_found: Account deleted`

If it's possible to offer detailed information via Cloud Logging, it will allow the users to troubleshoot by themselves.

Please let me know if there's any further information needed.

(Creating a Beam ticket because I was guided that it's a Beam related feature than Dataflow)
