Logging - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Object Storage Service (OSS) generates access logs to record access to resources stored in OSS buckets. After you enable and configure logging for a bucket, OSS generates access logs every hour based on predefined naming rules and then stores the logs in a specific bucket.

Usage notes

In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions, endpoints and open ports.
In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.
In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.
To enable logging, you must have the oss:PutBucketLogging permission. To query logging configurations, you must have the oss:GetBucketLogging permission. To disable logging, you must have the oss:DeleteBucketLogging permission. For more information, see Common examples of RAM policies.

Enable logging for a bucket

The following sample code provides an example on how to enable logging for a bucket:

import com.aliyun.oss.ClientException;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSS;
import com.aliyun.oss.common.auth.*;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSClientBuilder;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSException;
import com.aliyun.oss.model.SetBucketLoggingRequest;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
        String endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
        // Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
        EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = CredentialsProviderFactory.newEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
        // Specify the name of the source bucket for which you want to enable logging. Example: examplebucket. 
        String bucketName = "examplebucket";
        // Specify the name of the destination bucket in which you want to store the log objects. The source bucket and the destination bucket can be the same bucket or different buckets. 
        String targetBucketName = "yourTargetBucketName";
        // Set the directory in which you want to store the log objects to log/. If you specify this parameter, the log objects are stored in the specified directory of the destination bucket. If you do not specify this parameter, the log objects are stored in the root directory of the destination bucket. 
        String targetPrefix = "log/";
        // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.
        String region = "cn-hangzhou";

        // Create an OSSClient instance. 
        ClientBuilderConfiguration clientBuilderConfiguration = new ClientBuilderConfiguration();
        clientBuilderConfiguration.setSignatureVersion(SignVersion.V4);        
        OSS ossClient = OSSClientBuilder.create()
        .endpoint(endpoint)
        .credentialsProvider(credentialsProvider)
        .clientConfiguration(clientBuilderConfiguration)
        .region(region)               
        .build();

        try {
            SetBucketLoggingRequest request = new SetBucketLoggingRequest(bucketName);
            request.setTargetBucket(targetBucketName);
            request.setTargetPrefix(targetPrefix);
            ossClient.setBucketLogging(request);
        } catch (OSSException oe) {
            System.out.println("Caught an OSSException, which means your request made it to OSS, "
                    + "but was rejected with an error response for some reason.");
            System.out.println("Error Message:" + oe.getErrorMessage());
            System.out.println("Error Code:" + oe.getErrorCode());
            System.out.println("Request ID:" + oe.getRequestId());
            System.out.println("Host ID:" + oe.getHostId());
        } catch (ClientException ce) {
            System.out.println("Caught an ClientException, which means the client encountered "
                    + "a serious internal problem while trying to communicate with OSS, "
                    + "such as not being able to access the network.");
            System.out.println("Error Message:" + ce.getMessage());
        } finally {
            if (ossClient != null) {
                ossClient.shutdown();
            }
        }
    }
}

Query the logging configurations of a bucket

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the logging configurations of a bucket:
