Viewing Operation Logs on the GaussDB(DWS) Console
Enabling CTS
A tracker will be automatically created after CTS is enabled. All traces recorded by CTS are associated with a tracker. Currently, only one tracker can be created for each account.
- Log in to the management console, choose Service List > Management & Governance > Cloud Trace Service. The CTS management console is displayed.
- In the navigation tree on the left, click Trackers.
- Enable CTS.
If you are a first-time CTS user and do not have any created tackers in the tracker list, enable CTS first. For details, see Enabling CTS in the Cloud Trace Service Getting Started.
If you have enabled CTS, the system has automatically created a management tracker. Only one management tracker can be created and it cannot be deleted. You can also manually create a data tracker. For details, see "Tracker Management" > "Creating a Tracker" in the Cloud Trace Service User Guide.
Disabling the Audit Log Function
If you want to disable the audit log function, disable the tracker in CTS.
- Log in to the management console, choose Service List > Management & Governance > Cloud Trace Service. The CTS management console is displayed.
- Disable the audit log function by disabling the tracker. To enable the audit log function again, you only need to enable the tracker.
For details about how to enable or disable a tracker, see Disabling or Enabling a Tracker in the Cloud Trace Service User Guide.
Key Operations
With CTS, you can record operations associated with GaussDB(DWS) for future query, audit, and backtracking.

- The creation and deletion of automatic snapshots are not performed by users, therefore not recorded in audit logs.
- There are many GaussDB(DWS) cluster operation events, but the table below only includes some frequently audited operations.
