ActionTrail:Audit events of Elasticsearch

Last Updated:Mar 30, 2023

Elasticsearch is integrated with ActionTrail. In the ActionTrail console, you can query the management events that are generated when you manage Elasticsearch resources. ActionTrail can deliver management events to Logstores in Log Service or Object Storage Service (OSS) buckets. This way, you can audit the events in real time and locate the causes of issues.

ActionTrail generates management events when you manage cloud resources by using APIs or the Alibaba Cloud Management Console. The following table describes the management events of Elasticsearch that you can query in the ActionTrail console.
