Simple Log Service:GetConfig

Last Updated:Sep 18, 2026

Calls the GetConfig operation to retrieve the details of a Logtail configuration.

Operation description

Operation description

  • The Host consists of a project name and a Simple Log Service endpoint. You must specify a project in the Host.

  • An AccessKey pair has been created and obtained. For more information, see AccessKey pair.

An Alibaba Cloud account AccessKey pair has access permissions to all API operations and poses a high security risk. Create and use a RAM user for API access or routine O&M. The RAM user must have the required permissions on Simple Log Service resources. For more information, see Create a RAM user and authorization.

  • You have determined the name and region of the project to which the logs you want to query belong. For more information, see Manage a project.

  • The name of the Logtail collection configuration has been obtained. For more information, see ListConfig.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
