Audit logging

This product or feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms. Pre-GA products and features are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.

This document lists the audited methods for Certificate Manager. Google Cloud services generate audit logs that record administrative and access activities within your Google Cloud resources. For more information about Cloud Audit Logs, see the following:

• Types of audit logs
• Audit log entry structure
• Storing and routing audit logs
• Cloud Logging pricing summary
• Enable Data Access audit logs

Service name

To view the Certificate Manager audit logs, do the following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Logs Explorer page:

   Go to Logs Explorer

2. Copy and paste the following query into the Query field of the Logs Explorer, and then click Run query.

       protoPayload.serviceName="certificatemanager.googleapis.com"
     

Methods by permission type

Each IAM permission has a type property, whose value is an enum that can be one of four values: ADMIN_READ, ADMIN_WRITE, DATA_READ, or DATA_WRITE. When you call a method, Certificate Manager generates an audit log whose category is dependent on the type property of the permission required to perform the method. Methods that require an IAM permission with the type property value of DATA_READ, DATA_WRITE, or ADMIN_READ generate Data Access audit logs. Methods that require an IAM permission with the type property value of ADMIN_WRITE generate Admin Activity audit logs.

API methods in the following list that are marked with (LRO) are long-running operations (LROs). These methods usually generate two audit log entries: one when the operation starts and another when it ends. For more information see Audit logs for long-running operations.

Methods that don't produce audit logs

A method might not produce audit logs for one or more of the following reasons:

• It is a high volume method involving significant log generation and storage costs.
• It has low auditing value.
• Another audit or platform log already provides method coverage.

The following methods don't produce audit logs:

• google.cloud.location.Locations.GetLocation
• google.cloud.location.Locations.ListLocations
• google.longrunning.Operations.WaitOperation
