Object Storage Service:Logging

Last Updated:Oct 18, 2023

Object Storage Service (OSS) generates access logs to record events related to resources stored in OSS buckets. After you enable and configure logging for a bucket, OSS generates log objects hourly based on predefined naming rules and then stores the log objects in a specified bucket.

Usage notes

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS by using other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about the regions and endpoints supported by OSS, see Regions and endpoints.

  • In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Initialization.

  • To enable logging, you must have the oss:PutBucketLogging permission. To query logging configurations, you must have the oss:GetBucketLogging permission. To disable logging, you must have the oss:DeleteBucketLogging permission. For more information, see Common examples of RAM policies.

Enable logging for a bucket

The following code provides an example on how to enable logging for a bucket:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;

// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. Specify your actual endpoint. 
var endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the source bucket for which you want to enable logging. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Specify the name of the destination bucket in which the log objects are stored. The source bucket and the destination bucket can be the same bucket or different buckets. 
var targetBucketName = "destbucket";
// Create an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);
try
{
    // Specify that the log objects are stored in the log/ directory. If you specify this parameter, the log objects are stored in the specified directory of the destination bucket. If you do not specify this parameter, log objects are stored in the root directory of the destination bucket. 
    var request = new SetBucketLoggingRequest(bucketName, targetBucketName, "log/");
    // Enable logging for the source bucket. 
    client.SetBucketLogging(request);
    Console.WriteLine("Set bucket:{0} Logging succeeded ", bucketName);
}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}

View the logging configurations of a bucket

The following code provides an example on how to query the logging configurations of a bucket:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;
// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. Specify your actual endpoint. 
var endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Create an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);
try
{
    // View the logging configurations of the bucket. 
    var result = client.GetBucketLogging(bucketName);
    Console.WriteLine("Get bucket:{0} Logging succeeded, prefix:{1}", bucketName, result.TargetPrefix);
}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}

Disable logging for a bucket

The following code provides an example on how to disable logging for a bucket:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;
// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. Specify your actual endpoint. 
var endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Create an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);
try
{
    // Disable logging for the bucket. 
    client.DeleteBucketLogging(bucketName);
    Console.WriteLine("Delete bucket:{0} Logging succeeded ", bucketName);
}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}
