Viewing Operation Logs on the GaussDB(DWS) Console
Enabling CTS
A tracker will be automatically created after CTS is enabled. All traces recorded by CTS are associated with a tracker. Currently, only one tracker can be created for each account.
- Log in to the CTS console.
- In the navigation tree on the left, click Trackers.
- Enable CTS.
If you are new to CTS and do not have any trackers in the tracker list, enable CTS first. For details, see "Getting Started > Enabling CTS" in the Cloud Trace Service User Guide.
If you have enabled CTS, the system has automatically created a management tracker. Only one management tracker can be created and it cannot be deleted. You can also manually create a data tracker. For details, see "Tracker Management" > "Creating a Tracker" in the Cloud Trace Service User Guide.
Disabling the Audit Log Function
If you want to disable the audit log function, disable the tracker in CTS.
- Log in to the CTS console.
- Disable the audit log function by disabling the tracker. To enable the audit log function again, you only need to enable the tracker.
For how to enable or disable a tracker, see Disabling or Enabling a Tracker in the Cloud Trace Service User Guide.
Key Operations
With CTS, you can record operations associated with GaussDB(DWS) for future query, audit, and backtracking.

- The creation and deletion of automated snapshots are not performed by users, therefore not recorded in audit logs.
- There are many GaussDB(DWS) cluster operation events, but the table below only includes some frequently audited operations.

The following filters are available:
- Trace Name: If you select this option, you also need to select a specific trace name.
- Cloud Service: Select GaussDB(DWS).
- Resource Type: Select All resource types or specify a resource type.
- Resource Name: If you select this option, you also need to select or enter a specific resource name.
- Resource ID: If you select this option, you also need to select or enter a specific resource ID.
- Operator: Select a specific operator (at user level rather than tenant level).
- Event ID: If you select this option, you also need to select or enter an event ID.
- Trace Status: Available options include All trace statuses, normal, warning, and incident. You can only select one of them.
- Enterprise Project ID: If you select this option, you also need to select or enter a specific enterprise project ID.
- Access Key ID: If you select this option, you also need to select or enter a specific access key ID.
- Click Query.
- Click the name of the trace to be viewed. A window is displayed, showing the trace details.
For details about key fields of a CTS trace, see "Trace References" > "Trace Structure" and "Trace References" > "Example Traces" in Cloud Trace Service User Guide.
