Collecting Kubernetes Audit Logs

CCE supports logging for master nodes. On the Control Plane Audit Logs tab of Logging, you can determine whether to report Kubernetes audit logs to LTS.

Constraints

  • The cluster version must be v1.21.7-r0 or later, v1.23.5-r0 or later, or 1.25.
  • There is required LTS resource quota. For details about the default LTS quota, see Basic Resources.
