CLI Command Reference

Querying a Trace List

hcloud CTS ListTraces

This API is used to query records of operations on resources in the last seven days.

Go debug

Creating a Tracker

hcloud CTS CreateTracker

When you enable CTS, a tracker is automatically created to associate with the cloud services you are using and record all operations on the services. A management tracker and multiple data trackers can be created by an account in a region.Operation records (traces) are retained for 7 days and you can check them on the CTS console. To store traces for a longer period, you can transfer them to an Object Storage Service (OBS) bucket in real time.

Go debug

Modifying a Tracker

hcloud CTS UpdateTracker

This API is used to modify configurations of a tracker, including trace transfer to OBS buckets, key event notifications, trace file encryption, management trace retrieval using Log Tank Service (LTS), trace file integrity check, and tracker enablement or disablement. Modifying tracker parameters does not affect the collected traces. After the modification is complete, the new rules are immediately applied to operation recording.

Go debug

Querying a Tracker

hcloud CTS ListTrackers

This API is used to query tracker details, including the tracker name, name of OBS buckets for storing traces, and file name prefix of the traces files stored in OBS buckets.

Go debug

Deleting a Tracker

hcloud CTS DeleteTracker

This API is used to delete trackers. Only data trackers can be deleted. Deleting a tracker has no impact on the collected traces. When you enable CTS again, you can still view those traces.

Go debug

Creating a Key Event Notification

hcloud CTS CreateNotification

SMS, email, or HTTP/HTTPS notifications can be sent through pre-configured SMN topics to subscribers when key operations occur. This helps you detect high-risk operations promptly. Notifications can also be used as triggers for workflows or to connect to your own audit system.
