Monitoring and logging can help you ensure the availability, performance, and healthiness of your services. You can enable monitoring to collect metrics. Alibaba Cloud provides a wide variety of monitoring and auditing services, such as CloudMonitor, Cloud Config and ActionTrail. These services can monitor resource usage and service performance in real time, generate alerts, and notify you of anomalies.
ActionTrail
BaaS is integrated with Alibaba Cloud ActionTrail, enabling centralized management of your cloud resource operation logs. With this integration, you can record logons and resource access operations under your Alibaba Cloud account for security analysis, intrusion detection, resource change tracking, and compliance auditing.
ActionTrail can generate logs for cloud service access by using the Alibaba Cloud Management Console, calling API operations, and using developer tools. For more information about the audit events, see Audit events of VPC.
By default, ActionTrail tracks and retains events of the last 90 days. If you want to retain events that are generated 90 days ago, create a trail that delivers events to a Simple Log Service Logstore or an Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket. For more information, see Step 1: Create a trail.
After you create a trail to deliver events to a Simple Log Service Logstore or an OSS bucket, you can query or analyze the events in the Simple Log Service or OSS console. For more information, see Query events in the Simple Log Service or OSS console.
If you want to trace a historical event, submit a ticket to request for the required permissions.
