Bucket Logs

With bucket logs, you can record all activities at the bucket level.
When you configure bucket logging, you define a target bucket that stores the log files. Later, whenever you add, modify, or delete an object,
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
 records the action in a log file.
To write bucket logs,
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
 uses a dedicated log delivery account named System Logger. The log delivery account is a subject to the usual access control restrictions. When you configure bucket logging,
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
 grants
Write of Bucket
 and
Read of ACL
 permissions on the target bucket to the System Logger account.
You can interact with log files the same way you interact with other objects in
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
. You can preview log files directly in
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
, or you can download the logs locally.
If
VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension
 uses the
ECS
 storage platform, bucket logging is impossible. The
ECS
 storage platform does not support bucket logging.
If you use
Cloudian HyperStore
, you can work with bucket logs.
