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, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient 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:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize information about the account that is used to access OSS. */
            
    /* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    /* 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. */
    std::string Region = "yourRegion";
    /* Specify the name of the source bucket for which you want to enable logging. Example: examplebucket. */
    std::string BucketName = "examplebucket";
    /* Specify the name of the destination bucket in which the log objects are stored. The source bucket and the destination bucket can be the same bucket or different buckets. */
    std::string TargetBucketName = "destbucket";
    /* Set the directory in which the log objects are stored 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. */
    std::string TargetPrefix  ="log/";

    /* Initialize resources such as network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    conf.signatureVersion = SignatureVersionType::V4;
    /* 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. */
    auto credentialsProvider = std::make_shared<EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider>();
    OssClient client(Endpoint, credentialsProvider, conf);
    client.SetRegion(Region);  

    /* Enable logging for the bucket. */
    SetBucketLoggingRequest request(BucketName, TargetBucketName, TargetPrefix);
    auto outcome = client.SetBucketLogging(request);

    if (!outcome.isSuccess()) {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "SetBucketLogging fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release resources such as network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}

Query the logging configurations of a bucket

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

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize information about the account that is used to access OSS. */
            
    /* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    /* 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. */
    std::string Region = "yourRegion";
    /* Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. */
    std::string BucketName = "examplebucket";

    /* Initialize resources such as network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    conf.signatureVersion = SignatureVersionType::V4;
    /* 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. */
    auto credentialsProvider = std::make_shared<EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider>();
    OssClient client(Endpoint, credentialsProvider, conf);
    client.SetRegion(Region);

    /* View the logging configurations of the bucket. */
    GetBucketLoggingRequest request(BucketName);
    auto outcome = client.GetBucketLogging(request);

    if (outcome.isSuccess()) {
        std::cout <<" GetBucketLogging success, TargetBucket: " << outcome.result().TargetBucket() << 
        ",TargetPrefix: " << outcome.result().TargetPrefix() << std::endl;
    }
    else { 
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "GetBucketLogging fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release resources such as network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}

Disable logging for a bucket

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

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize information about the account that is used to access OSS. */
            
    /* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    /* 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. */
    std::string Region = "yourRegion";
    /* Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. */
    std::string BucketName = "examplebucket";

    /* Initialize resources such as network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    conf.signatureVersion = SignatureVersionType::V4;
    /* 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. */
    auto credentialsProvider = std::make_shared<EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider>();
    OssClient client(Endpoint, credentialsProvider, conf);
    client.SetRegion(Region);

    /* Disable logging for the bucket. */
    DeleteBucketLoggingRequest request(BucketName);
    auto outcome = client.DeleteBucketLogging(request);

    if (!outcome.isSuccess()) {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "DeleteBucketLogging fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release resources such as network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}
