Auditing and Logging

Auditing

Cloud Trace Service (CTS) records operations on cloud resources in your account. You can use the logs to perform security analysis, track resource changes, audit compliance, and locate faults.

After CTS is enabled, it can record CloudDC operations.

If you want to enable and configure CTS, refer to Cloud Trace Service Getting Started.
Table 1 lists the CloudDC operations that can be recorded by CTS.

For details about the IMS operations that can be recorded by CTS, see IMS Operations Audited by CTS.
