(New) Log Management

AOM provides a unified entry for observability analysis of Huawei Cloud services. It does not provide log functions by itself. Instead, it uses the log management, ingestion, transfer, job, and settings functions of Log Tank Service (LTS). You can perform operations on the AOM 2.0 or LTS console.

Constraints

  • Before using the log management, ingestion, jobs, and transfer functions on the AOM 2.0 console, you need to purchase LTS resources first.
  • Log Management (new) is available only in the CN North-Beijing1, CN Southwest-Guiyang1, CN North-Beijing4, AP-Singapore, AF-Johannesburg, CN East-Shanghai1, LA-Santiago, LA-Sao Paulo1, LA-Mexico City1, LA-Mexico City2, AP-Jakarta, TR-Istanbul, ME-Riyadh, CN East-Qingdao, CN East-Shanghai2, CN South-Guangzhou, CN-Hong Kong, AP-Bangkok, and CN East2 regions.
  • To use LTS functions on the AOM console, obtain the LTS permissions in advance. For details, see Permissions.
  • Log management (old) provides log search, log files, log paths, log dumps, LTS access, and log settings. To switch from the new log management function to the old one, click Old Edition in the upper right corner of the page.
