This page explains how to view the mounted image logs created in Cloud Logging. These logs provide information about the details of the mounted images present on the backup/recovery appliance. These logs are generated once every eight hours.
Permissions and roles
You need the IAM
permission roles/logging.viewer
to view the
mounted image logs. The Logs Viewer role gives you read-only access to view
mounted image logs of all backup/recovery appliances in the specified project.
For more information about the IAM permissions and roles that apply to mounted
image logs data, see Access control with IAM
.
