    Naveen,

    Lets try this if you have not:

    I noticed you're looking for help with exporting data from IBM Cloud Logs using a private endpoint URL after migrating from Log Analysis due to its deprecation. 

    Based on IBM Cloud documentation, when migrating from Log Analysis to IBM Cloud Logs, there are some changes to the endpoints you would use. For exporting data from IBM Cloud Logs using a private endpoint URL, you would need to use the following pattern:

    ```
    api.private.{region}.logging.cloud.ibm.com/v1/export
    ```

    Note that the version has changed from v2 to v1 in the new Cloud Logs service. For your specific region (jp-tok), the private endpoint URL would be:

    ```
    api.private.jp-tok.logging.cloud.ibm.com/v1/export
    ```

    To export logs, you would need to make a POST request to this endpoint with proper authentication headers and parameters similar to what you did with Log Analysis, but following the new IBM Cloud Logs API specifications.

    The request would typically include:
    - Your IBM Cloud IAM token in the Authorization header
    - Content-Type header set to application/json
    - A request body specifying the query parameters, time range, and format for the export

    If you need more specific information about the request format or authentication methods, You may want to try the official IBM Cloud Logs API documentation or reaching out to IBM Cloud support for the most up-to-date guidance.

    Let me know if this helps

    Tom
