Tablestore supports the audit log feature, which can be used for security audit, compliance audit, troubleshooting, and other scenarios. This topic describes the audit methods supported by Tablestore and the audit events supported by different audit methods.
Audit methods
Tablestore supports ActionTrail-based audit logs and Simple Log Service-based audit logs.
Audit method | Description |
ActionTrail helps you monitor and record activities of Alibaba Cloud accounts. Tablestore is integrated with ActionTrail. You can view Tablestore events in the last 90 days online without any configuration. You can also use ActionTrail to deliver account activity records to Simple Log Service or Object Storage Service (OSS) for long-term storage. | |
Simple Log Service is a cloud-native observation and analysis platform. After you activate Simple Log Service and enable the audit log feature, you can use features such as log query and analysis, statistical charts, and LogReduce in the Tablestore console. |
We recommend that you use ActionTrail-based audit logs. Compared with Simple Log Service-based audit logs, ActionTrail-based audit logs support more comprehensive operation types and more flexible query capabilities based on multiple conditions.
