Logs

Overview

OBS allows you to store SA logs as long as you want and export all the logs you want at any time. Logs transferred to OBS buckets can be stored permanently and downloaded locally.

Prerequisites

• Your professional edition SA is available.
• Your account must have required permissions. To manage resources, your account should have the SA FullAccess, SA ReadOnlyAccess, and Tenant Administrator permissions.

  For details about Tenant Administrator, see sa_01_0016.html#section753419154403

Creating an OBS Bucket for Storing Logs

To meet the security audit requirements for storing logs for at least 180 days, you can transfer logs to an OBS bucket for long-term storage. You can also download transferred logs on the OBS console.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Security > Situation Awareness > Logs.
3. In the Upload to OBS area, click to enable OBS.

4. Configure related parameters. Table 1 describes the parameters.

   Table 1 Log storage parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Bucket Name	Select an OBS bucket. If no OBS bucket is available, go to the OBS console and create one. NOTE: Only OBS buckets in the region where the current account is located can be selected. Only Standard and Infrequent Access OBS buckets can be used for LTS.
   Object Name	Name you want to use for the object.
   Storage Path	Storage path generated based on the bucket name and object name.

5. Click OK.

   It takes about 10 minutes for the service to upload logs to the bucket.

Other Operations

If you no longer want to store logs in an OBS bucket, in the Upload to OBS area, click to disable the function. This does not delete the logs you have uploaded to the OBS bucket.
