Simple Log Service:Usage notes

Last Updated:Aug 29, 2023

Simple Log Service and WUYING Workspace jointly launch the log delivery feature that allows you to deliver operation logs from WUYING Workspace to Simple Log Service. Simple Log Service allows you to audit, monitor, and manage user operation logs and generates alerts for suspicious operation logs. This helps prevent information leaks and ensure business data security. This topic describes the assets and billing of the log delivery feature.

Introduction

Operation logs of WUYING Workspace record the operations that are performed on WUYING Workspace by using an Alibaba Cloud account. Operation logs consist of administrator operation logs and user operation logs.

  • Administrator operation logs record the access to and usage of WUYING Workspace by using consoles and APIs.

  • User operation logs record the following behavior: startup, shutdown, restart, and reset of devices, session connection and disconnection, and connection to WUYING Workspace.

Operation logs provide valid records for the following operations: security analysis, resource change tracing, and behavior compliance audit.

Assets

  • Project and Logstore

    After you enable the log delivery feature, Simple Log Service creates a project and Logstore. The names of the project and Logstore start with elastic-desktop-.

    Important
    • Before you disable the log delivery feature, do not delete the project or Logstore that is related to operation logs. Otherwise, operation logs cannot be sent to Simple Log Service.

    • If you have enabled the pay-by-ingested-data billing mode, Simple Log Service creates a dedicated Logstore that uses the pay-by-ingested-data billing mode by default. If you want to switch the billing mode from pay-by-ingested-data to pay-by-feature, you can modify the configuration of the Logstore. For more information, see Modify the configuration of a Logstore.

  • Dashboard

    Simple Log Service does not generate a dedicated dashboard after you enable the feature. You can create a custom dashboard based on your business requirements.

Billing

  • You are not charged for the log delivery feature on the WUYING Workspace side.

  • If your Logstore uses the pay-by-feature billing mode, you are charged for storage, read traffic, number of requests, data transformation, and data shipping after the logs are collected from WUYING Workspace to Simple Log Service. The fees are included in the bills of Simple Log Service. For more information, see Billable items of pay-by-feature.

  • If your Logstore uses the pay-by-ingested-data billing mode, you are charged only for read traffic over the Internet after the logs are collected from WUYING Workspace to Simple Log Service. The fees are included in the bills of Simple Log Service. For more information, see Billable items of pay-by-ingested-data.
