How Do I Find Out Who Created a Specific ECS?

Background

To identify the user who created a specific ECS, you can view traces recorded by CTS.

Prerequisites

• You have enabled CTS.
• You have obtained the resource ID of the ECS.

Procedure

1. Log in to the CTS console.
2. Choose Trace List in the navigation pane.
3. Set the time range to 06:00 to 12:00 of a certain day and set the following filters:

   In the search box, select Trace Source and ECS. Select Trace Name, enter createServer, and press Enter. Then, select Resource ID, enter {Resource ID of the ECS}, and press Enter.

   

4. In the filter result, click the target trace to view its details.

   The user field shows details of the IAM user who created the ECS. The format is {"name": "Account name", "id": "Account ID", "domain"{"name": "IAM user name", "id": "IAM user ID"}}. If the ECS was created by an account, the IAM user name and the account name are the same.
