Cloud Service Mesh audit logging
This document describes audit logging for . 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:
Each IAM permission has atypeproperty, whose value is an enum
that can be one of four values:ADMIN_READ,ADMIN_WRITE,DATA_READ, orDATA_WRITE. When you call a method,
generates an audit log whose category is dependent on thetypeproperty of the permission required to perform the method.
Methods that require an IAM permission with thetypeproperty value
ofDATA_READ,DATA_WRITE, orADMIN_READgenerateData Accessaudit logs.
Methods that require an IAM permission with thetypeproperty value
ofADMIN_WRITEgenerateAdmin Activityaudit logs.
