You can enable the log delivery feature for a cloud-native gateway in the Microservice Engine (MSE) console. After you enable the feature, the access logs of the gateway are delivered to Simple Log Service. You can analyze the access logs of the cloud-native gateway to understand the behavior and geographical locations of client users for troubleshooting.
