PolarDB:Log reports

Last Updated:Aug 18, 2023

PolarDB-X provides the SQL audit and analysis features that are developed based on Log Service and provides reports of SQL execution monitoring, SQL performance monitoring, and security monitoring. You can view the statistical information about SQL queries, SQL performance metrics, and potential risks of your PolarDB-X databases.

Prerequisites

The SQL audit and analysis features are enabled for your PolarDB-X instance. For more information, see Enable SQL audit and analysis.

Note

The audit logs of PolarDB-X databases that are deployed in the same region are stored in the same Logstore in Log Service. By default, the __topic__:polardbx_sqlaudit and instance_id:xxxxxxxxx conditions are used. When you search for log entries based on these conditions, all log entries that are returned are collected from the PolarDB-X instance.
