Configuring Logging for a Bucket (SDK for Python)

Function

This API enables logging for a bucket (source) and configures another bucket (target) to store the log files. When a bucket is created, logging is not enabled by default. You can call this API to enable logging for the bucket. With logging enabled, a log message is generated for each operation on the bucket. Multiple log messages are packed into a file. The bucket for storing log files must be specified when logging is enabled. It can be the bucket logging is enabled for, or any other bucket you have access to. If you specify another bucket for storing logs, the bucket must be in the same region as the logged bucket. You can also configure access to log files and the name prefix of log files.

Restrictions

  • OBS creates log files and uploads them to the bucket. Before enabling logging for a bucket, you need to create an IAM agency to delegate OBS to upload log files to the specified bucket. For details about how to create an agency, see Cloud Service Delegation.
  • To configure logging for a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:bucket:PutBucketLogging in IAM or PutBucketLogging 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.

Table 4 Permission

Constant

Description

READ

Read permission

A grantee with this permission for a bucket can obtain the list of objects, multipart uploads, bucket metadata, and object versions in the bucket.

A grantee with this permission for an object can obtain the object content and metadata.

WRITE

Write permission

A grantee with this permission for a bucket can upload, overwrite, and delete any object or part in the bucket.

Such permission for an object is not applicable.

READ_ACP

Permission to read ACL configurations

A grantee with this permission can obtain the ACL of a bucket or object.

A bucket or object owner has this permission for the bucket or object permanently.

WRITE_ACP

Permission to modify ACL configurations

A grantee with this permission can update the ACL of a bucket or object.

A bucket or object owner has this permission for the bucket or object permanently.

A grantee with this permission can modify the access control policy and thus the grantee obtains full access permissions.

FULL_CONTROL

Full control access, including read and write permissions for a bucket and its ACL, or for an object and its ACL.

A grantee with this permission for a bucket has READ, WRITE, READ_ACP, and WRITE_ACP permissions for the bucket.

A grantee with this permission for an object has READ, WRITE, READ_ACP, and WRITE_ACP permissions for the object.
