Resource Tracking

Scenarios

You can view operation records of a cloud resource throughout its lifecycle.

This section describes how to use CTS to view all operation records of an ECS.

Constraints

To store operation records for longer than seven days, you must configure transfer to OBS or LTS for trackers so that you can view them in OBS buckets or LTS log groups.

Prerequisites

You have enabled CTS and trackers are running properly. For details about how to enable CTS, see Overview.

Viewing Real-Time Traces in the Trace List of the New Edition

1. Log in to the management console as a CTS administrator.
2. Click in the upper left corner to select the desired region and project.
3. Click in the upper left corner and choose Management & Governance > Cloud Trace Service. The CTS console is displayed.
4. Choose Trace List in the left navigation pane.
5. Set filters as follows:

   Select ECS for Trace Source and ecs for Resource Type, and enter {VM ID} for Resource ID. You can also directly enter {VM ID} to view the filtering result.

   

   

   By default, operations performed in the last hour are queried. You can also set the time range to view the matching traces in the last seven days at most.

6. To query operation records of the last seven days, go to the OBS bucket or LTS log group. For details, see Querying Transferred Traces.
7. Check all the traces obtained in 5 and 6.
