Lyve Cloud Documentation

Audit logs are detailed records of activities in the Lyve Cloud console and S3 API operations. Audit logs are used to access audit functions and track any suspicious activity.

When you enable audit logging, all audit logs are written to the selected target bucket. The target bucket must be immutable, which keeps audit logs immutable. For more information, see Using object immutability. You cannot switch off object immutability for the target bucket. You can maintain three types of audit logs:

The audit log files have TIMESTAMP format: yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss' and are set to the UTC zone.

Audit log files keep sufficient information to establish which events occurred, when they occurred, and who caused them. Administrators can manually delete these audit log files after the specified retention duration ends. This helps you to manage the buckets cost-effectively. For more information, see Using object immutability.

Lyve Cloud periodically saves audit logs for specified buckets. The maximum size of a log file is 500 MB. If the file size reaches 500 MB, that log file is saved, and the logs continue to be written in a new file. Log files are saved to the target bucket as console audit log files, IAM audit logs, or S3 API logs.
