Simple Log Service and Elastic Desktop Service jointly launch the log delivery feature that allows you to deliver operation logs from Elastic Desktop Service to Simple Log Service. Simple Log Service allows you to audit, monitor, and manage user operation logs and generates alerts for suspicious operation logs. This helps prevent information leaks and ensure business data security. This topic describes the assets and billing of the log delivery feature.
Introduction
Operation logs of Elastic Desktop Service record the operations that are performed on Elastic Desktop Service by using an Alibaba Cloud account. Operation logs consist of administrator operation logs and user operation logs.
Administrator operation logs record the access to and usage of Elastic Desktop Service by using consoles and APIs.
User operation logs record the following behavior: startup, shutdown, restart, and reset of devices, session connection and disconnection, and connection to Elastic Desktop Service.
Operation logs provide valid records for the following operations: security analysis, resource change tracing, and behavior compliance audit.
Assets
Project and Logstore
After you enable the log delivery feature, Simple Log Service creates a project and Logstore. The names of the project and Logstore start with
elastic-desktop-.ImportantBefore you disable the log delivery feature, do not delete the project or Logstore that is related to operation logs. Otherwise, operation logs cannot be sent to Simple Log Service.
If you have enabled the pay-by-ingested-data billing mode, Simple Log Service creates a dedicated Logstore that uses the pay-by-ingested-data billing mode by default. If you want to switch the billing mode from pay-by-ingested-data to pay-by-feature, you can modify the configuration of the Logstore. For more information, see Modify the configuration of a Logstore.
Dashboard
Simple Log Service does not generate a dedicated dashboard after you enable the feature. You can create a custom dashboard based on your business requirements.
Billing
You are not charged for the log delivery feature on the Elastic Desktop Service side.
If your Logstore uses the pay-by-feature billing mode, you are charged for storage, read traffic, number of requests, data transformation, and data shipping after the logs are collected from Elastic Desktop Service to Simple Log Service. The fees are included in the bills of Simple Log Service. For more information, see Billable items of pay-by-feature.
If your Logstore uses the pay-by-ingested-data billing mode, you are charged only for read traffic over the Internet after the logs are collected from Elastic Desktop Service to Simple Log Service.
