Bastionhost allows you to archive audit logs in Simple Log Service (SLS). After you configure the archiving settings for audit logs, Bastionhost automatically delivers the audit logs to Simple Log Service in real time. This topic describes how to archive audit logs in Simple Log Service.
Only audit logs that are generated after the archiving settings are configured can be archived in Simple Log Service.
Background information
Audit logs record the O&M activities that Bastionhost users perform by using Bastionhost. The audit logs contain command audit records and operation logs. Bastionhost stores audit logs only for 180 days. If you want to store audit logs longer than 180 days, you can archive the audit logs in SLS. After you archive the audit logs in SLS, you can query and analyze the audit logs, specify a custom log retention period, and forward the audit logs to a third-party platform, such as Splunk, by using SLS. For more information, see Query and analysis or Ship logs from Simple Log Service to Splunk by using a Splunk add-on.
After you archive the audit logs in SLS, the archiving operation does not affect the audit logs that are stored in Bastionhost. You can still view the audit logs on the Session Audit page of the console of a bastion host. For more information, see Search for sessions and view session details.
Procedure
Log on to the Simple Log Service console.
Follow the on-screen instructions to activate Simple Log Service.
Visit the Log Audit Service page.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Access to Cloud Products > Global Configurations. Then, perform the following steps to complete the settings for collecting audit logs.
In the Region of the Central Project drop-down list, select a region for centralized storage of logs.
Find Bastion Host in the Cloud Products column, turn on Operations Log, and then specify a retention period for audit logs in the Storage Type column.
View audit logs.
In the left-side navigation pane, click the
icon. Choose Central > Bastionhost to view audit logs.
