This document describes audit logging for Google Cloud Armor. 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

Service name
Google Cloud Armor audit logs use the service name compute.googleapis.com 
.
Filter for this service:
protoPayload . serviceName = "compute.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,
Google Cloud Armor 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.
