Configuring an Inventory Rule (SDK for Java)

Function

This API configures an inventory rule for the bucket. With this API, object information in a bucket (source) is regularly listed and saved as CSV files. These files are then stored in a specified bucket (destination). In this manner, you can easily manage objects in a bucket. A source bucket can also be the destination bucket. A bucket inventory file contains the following object-related information: object versions, sizes, storage classes, tags, encryption statuses, and last modification time.

You can encrypt bucket inventory files using SSE-KMS.

Restrictions

  • To configure an inventory rule for a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:bucket:PutBucketInventoryConfiguration in IAM or PutBucketInventoryConfiguration in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
  • Bucket versions
    • Bucket inventories can be generated only for OBS 3.0 buckets, but they can be stored in either OBS 3.0 or OBS 2.0.
  • Number of bucket inventory rules
    • A bucket can have a maximum of 10 inventory rules.
  • Source and destination buckets
    • The source bucket (for which a bucket inventory rule is configured) and the destination bucket (where the generated inventory files are stored) must belong to the same account.
    • The source bucket and the destination bucket must be in the same region.
    • Default encryption cannot be enabled for the destination bucket configured for storing inventory files.
  • Functions
    • Inventory files must be in the CSV format.
    • OBS can generate inventory files for all objects in a bucket or a group of objects whose names begin with the same prefix.
    • If a bucket has multiple inventory rules, the filter criteria in these rules must not overlap.
      • If a bucket already has an inventory rule for the entire bucket, new inventory rules that filter objects by prefixes cannot be created. If you need an inventory rule that covers only a subset of objects in the bucket, first delete the inventory rule configured for the entire bucket.
      • If an inventory rule that filters objects by a specified prefix already exists, you cannot create an inventory rule for the entire bucket. To create an inventory rule for the entire bucket, make sure that the bucket has no inventory rules that filter objects by specified prefixes.
      • If a bucket already has an inventory rule that filters objects by the object name prefix, such as ab, the filter of a new inventory rule cannot be any prefix that contains a, b, or ab. If you still need to create such rules, delete the inventory rule that uses the prefix ab first.
    • Bucket inventory files only support SSE-KMS encryption.
  • Permissions
    • Inventory files are uploaded to the destination bucket by an OBS system user. Therefore, you need to grant the system user the permission to write objects to the destination bucket.
  • Others
    • The bucket inventory function is offered for free, but inventory files are billed for the storage they use.

If you do not specify this parameter, BucketInventory is used as the prefix by default.

includedObjectVersions

String

Yes

Explanation:

Whether versions of objects are included in an inventory.

Value range:

  • If this parameter is set to All, all the versions of objects are included in the inventory, and version-related fields are added to the inventory, including: VersionId, IsLatest, and DeleteMarker.

Default value:

None
