Event logs in ActionTrail

limits

• In the ActionTrail console, you can query only the events that are delivered by single-account trails. You can perform queries at most twice per second. You cannot query the events that are delivered by multi-account trails in the ActionTrail console. To query such events, go to the required Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket or Simple Log Service Logstore. For more information, see Create a multi-account trail.

• You can use the event query feature to query only the events that are generated in the current region in the last 90 days.

  • To query the events that were generated in the current region 90 days ago, you must create a single-account trail to deliver the events to OSS or Simple Log Service. Otherwise, you cannot query the events that were generated 90 days ago. For more information, see Create a single-account trail.

  • To query the events that were generated in multiple regions 90 days ago or filter and query events based on multiple conditions, you can use the advanced event query feature. For more information, see Perform custom event queries.

• After an event is generated within your Alibaba Cloud account, you must wait 10 minutes before you can query the event in the ActionTrail console.

Usage notes

• ActionTrail is automatically activated. If your Alibaba Cloud account has completed real-name verification and has no overdue payment, you can use the account to log on to the ActionTrail console.

• If you use ActionTrail to create a trail and deliver events to Object Storage Service (OSS), Simple Log Service, or MaxCompute, you are charged based on the billing methods of the service involved.

For more information, see Billing.
