Creating a Tracker

Function

When you enable CTS, a tracker is automatically created to associate with the cloud services you are using and record all operations on the services. Currently, only one management tracker can be created for a cloud account in a region. Operation records are retained for 7 days and you can check the records on the CTS console. To store records for a longer period, you can transfer records to an Object Storage Service (OBS) bucket in real time.
