A large number of logs are generated when Object Storage Service (OSS) resources are accessed. After you enable and configure logging for a bucket, OSS generates logs every hour in accordance with predefined naming conventions and then stores the logs as objects in a specified bucket.

Enable logging for a bucket

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

const OSS = require('ali-oss')
const client = new OSS({
  // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to oss-cn-hangzhou. 
  region: 'yourregion',
  // The AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations. Using these credentials to perform operations in OSS is a high-risk operation. We recommend that you use a RAM user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. To create a RAM user, log on to the RAM console. 
  accessKeyId: 'yourAccessKeyId',
  accessKeySecret: 'yourAccessKeySecret',
  // Set yourbucketname to the name of your bucket. 
  bucket: 'yourbucketname'
});
async function putBucketLogging () {
  try {
     const result = await client.putBucketLogging('bucket-name', 'logs/');
     console.log(result)
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e)
  }
}
putBucketLogging();

Query the logging configurations of a bucket

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

const OSS = require('ali-oss')

const client = new OSS({
  // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to oss-cn-hangzhou. 
  region: 'yourregion',
  // The AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations. Using these credentials to perform operations in OSS is a high-risk operation. We recommend that you use a RAM user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. To create a RAM user, log on to the RAM console. 
  accessKeyId: 'yourAccessKeyId',
  accessKeySecret: 'yourAccessKeySecret',
  // Set yourbucketname to the name of your bucket. 
  bucket: 'yourbucketname'
});

async function getBucketLogging() {
  try {
     const result = await client.getBucketLogging('bucket-name');
    console.log(result);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
})

getBucketLogging();

Disable logging for a bucket

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

const OSS = require('ali-oss')

const client = new OSS({
  // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to oss-cn-hangzhou. 
  region: 'yourregion',
  // The AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account has permissions on all API operations. Using these credentials to perform operations in OSS is a high-risk operation. We recommend that you use a RAM user to call API operations or perform routine O&M. To create a RAM user, log on to the RAM console. 
  accessKeyId: 'yourAccessKeyId',
  accessKeySecret: 'yourAccessKeySecret',
  // Set yourbucketname to the name of your bucket. 
  bucket: 'yourbucketname'
});

async function deleteBucketLogging () {
  try {
    const result = await client.deleteBucketLogging('bucket-name');
    console.log(result);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }

deleteBucketLogging();
