Viewing Tracing Events

Scenarios

After CTS is enabled, operations on cloud resources are recorded. You can view the operation records of the last 7 days on the CTS console.

This section describes how to query the operation records of the last 7 days on the console.

Prerequisites

Before using CTS, you need to enable it. For details, see Enabling CTS.

Procedure

1. Log in to the Cloud Trace Service console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Trace List.
4. Filter conditions to query traces.

   Parameter	Description
   Read-Only	After adding the Read-Only filter, you can select either Yes or No. Yes: filters read-only traces, for example, resource query operations. This option is available after Read-Only Trace Reporting has been enabled for at least one read-only trace in Configuration Center. No: filters non-read-only traces, such as creating, modifying, and deleting resources.
   Trace Name	Name of a trace. The value is case sensitive and requires an exact match. Fuzzy match is not supported.
   Trace Source	Abbreviation of a cloud service name. The value is case sensitive and requires an exact match. Fuzzy match is not supported.
   Resource Name	Name of a cloud resource involved in a trace. The value is case sensitive and requires an exact match. Fuzzy match is not supported. If the cloud resource involved in the trace does not have a resource name or the corresponding API operation does not involve the resource name parameter, leave this field empty.
   Resource ID	ID of a cloud resource involved in a trace. The value is case sensitive and requires an exact match. Fuzzy match is not supported. If the resource type does not have a resource ID or the resource fails to be created, leave this field empty.
   Trace ID	Value of the trace_id parameter for a trace reported to CTS. The value requires an exact match. Fuzzy match is not supported.
   Resource Type	Type of a resource involved in a trace. The value is case sensitive and requires an exact match. Fuzzy match is not supported.
   Operator	User who triggers a trace. Select one or more operators from the drop-down list.
   Trace Status	Select one of the following options from the drop-down list: normal: The operation succeeded. warning: The operation failed. incident: The operation caused a fault that is more serious than a normal failure, for example, causing other faults.
   Enterprise Project ID	ID of the enterprise project to which a resource belongs. To check enterprise project IDs, go to the Enterprise Project Management Service (EPS) console and choose Project Management in the navigation pane.
   Access Key ID	Temporary or permanent access key ID. To view the access key ID, hover over the username in the upper right corner of the console and choose My Credentials. On the displayed page, choose Access Keys.

5. Check the traces that meet the search criteria.
6. Click a trace name. Details about the trace are displayed in the dialog box on the right.
7. Click Export to export all traces in the query result as an XLSX file. The file can contain up to 5,000 records.
