Enabling CTS

CTS records operations performed on cloud resources in your account. The operation logs can be used to perform security analysis, track resource changes, perform compliance audits, and locate faults.

It is recommended that you enable the CTS service to record key IAM operations, such as creating and deleting users.

Procedure

Log in to the management console.
Click Service List and choose Management & Deployment > Cloud Trace Service.
Click Trackers in the navigation pane.
Click Enable CTS.
In the displayed dialog box, click Enable. The system automatically creates a tracker.

After you enable CTS, you can view the tracker information on the Trackers page.

CTS records all operations performed on IAM, such as creating users and user groups. Table 1 shows the IAM operations that can be recorded by CTS.
