How Can I Find Out Who Created a Specific ECS?

Solution

To identify the user who created a specific ECS, you can view traces recorded by CTS.

Prerequisites

• You have enabled CTS.
• You have obtained the resource ID of the ECS.

Procedure

Log in to the CTS console, choose Trace List, and select ECS for Trace Source. In the displayed traces, look for the createServer trace with the obtained resource ID, and expand the trace details.

The user field shows details of the IAM user who created the ECS. The format is {"name": "Account name", "id": "Account ID", "domain"{"name": "IAM user name", "id": "IAM user ID"}}. If the ECS was created by an account, the IAM user name and the account name are the same.
