Querying Real-Time Traces

Scenarios

After you enable CTS and the management tracker is created, CTS starts recording operations on cloud resources. After a data tracker is created, the system starts recording operations on data in OBS buckets. CTS stores operation records generated in the last seven days.

This section describes how to query and export operation records of the last seven days on the CTS console.

Constraints

  • Traces of a single account can be viewed on the CTS console. Multi-account traces can be viewed only on the Trace List page of each account, or in the OBS bucket or the CTS/system log stream configured for the management tracker with the organization function enabled.
  • You can only query operation records of the last seven days on the CTS console. To store operation records for more than seven days, you must configure an OBS bucket to transfer records to it. Otherwise, you cannot query the operation records generated seven days ago.
  • After performing operations on the cloud, you can query management traces on the CTS console 1 minute later and query data traces on the CTS console 5 minutes later.

Viewing Real-Time Traces in the Trace List of the New Edition

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and choose Management & Governance > Cloud Trace Service. The CTS console is displayed.
  3. Choose Trace List in the navigation pane on the left.
  4. On the Trace List page, use advanced search to query traces. You can combine one or more filters.
    • Trace Name: Enter a trace name.
    • Trace ID: Enter a trace ID.
    • Resource Name: Enter a resource name. If the cloud resource involved in the trace does not have a resource name or the corresponding API operation does not involve the resource name parameter, leave this field empty.
    • Resource ID: Enter a resource ID. Leave this field empty if the resource has no resource ID or if resource creation failed.
    • Trace Source: Select a cloud service name from the drop-down list.
    • Resource Type: Select a resource type from the drop-down list.
    • Operator: Select one or more operators from the drop-down list.
    • Trace Status: Select normal, warning, or incident.
      • normal: The operation succeeded.
      • warning: The operation failed.
      • incident: The operation caused a fault that is more serious than the operation failure, for example, causing other faults.
    • Enterprise Project ID: Enter an enterprise project ID.
    • Access Key: Enter an access key ID, including temporary access credentials and permanent access keys.
    • Time range: Select Last 1 hour, Last 1 day, or Last 1 week, or specify a custom time range.
  5. On the Trace List page, you can also export and refresh the trace list, and customize the list display settings.
    • Enter any keyword in the search box and press Enter to filter desired traces.
    • Click Export to export all traces in the query result as an .xlsx file. The file can contain up to 5000 records.
    • Click to view the latest information about traces.
    • Click to customize the information to be displayed in the trace list. If Auto wrapping is enabled (), excess text will move down to the next line; otherwise, the text will be truncated. By default, this function is disabled.
