Scenarios
If you log in to Cloud Trace Service (CTS) for the first time, click Enable CTS on the Tracker List page. A management tracker named system will be automatically created. Then you can create data trackers on this page. The management tracker identifies and associates with all cloud services your tenant account is using, and records all operations of your tenant account. Data trackers record details of the tenant's operations on data in Object Storage Service (OBS) buckets.
You can only query operation records of the last seven days on the CTS console. To query operation records generated in the past seven days, store trace files in an OBS bucket or Log Tank Service (LTS) log stream. Ensure that you have enabled OBS and LTS and have full permissions for the OBS bucket and LTS log stream you are going to use. By default, only the owner of OBS buckets can access the buckets and all objects contained in the buckets, but the owner can grant access permissions to other services and users by configuring access policies.
Prerequisites
- To configure the trace transfer function, you must enable OBS and LTS.
- To enable the key event notification function, you must enable Simple Message Notification (SMN).
Associated Services
