Service Directory produces audit logs that you can view through
Logging.
Audit logs
Audit logscan help you answer the questions "Who did what, where, and when?".
Service Directory writes two types of audit logs:admin activityanddata access. Admin activity logs are always enabled and apply to the
following Service Directory operations:
CreateNamespace
UpdateNamespace
DeleteNamespace
SetIamPolicy
All other Service Directory operations are considered data access logs and are
not enabled by default. Data access logs are also subject to
Logging pricing and quota, whereas neither applies to admin
activity logs. To enable data access logging, seeConfiguring Data Access logs.
To see these logs inLogging,
selectService Directory Namespacefrom theResourcedrop-down menu andcloudaudit.googleapis.com/activityorcloudaudit.googleapis.com/data_access,
as appropriate, from theLogsdrop-down.
