CloudAudit
2025-12-12 17:40Tencent Cloud CloudAudit is a service dedicated to monitoring and tracking operations on Tencent Cloud resources. Its core value lies in providing users with comprehensive and traceable monitoring capabilities for cloud resource operations, assisting in security analysis, compliance verification, and issue troubleshooting. This service fully records all operations initiated through channels such as the Tencent Cloud Management Console and API services, encompassing both Console Operation Records and API Operation Tracking. This creates a detailed history of Cloud Resource Operation Records events, including key information such as source IP addresses, operation times, and usernames. In terms of data retention and traceability, CloudAudit supports Operational Log Persistent Storage. Through the tracking set feature, account activity information can be persistently stored in Cloud Object Storage (COS), ensuring that Cloud Resource Operation Records are not lost and providing solid support for Compliance Tracing. Whether for daily account activity monitoring or long-term compliance audits and risk investigations, the comprehensiveness of Cloud Resource Operation Records, the dual coverage of API Operation Tracking and Console Operation Records, and the reliability of Operational Log Persistent Storage make Compliance Tracing more efficient and accurate, establishing it as an essential tool for enterprise cloud resource security management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Tencent Cloud CloudAudit achieve comprehensive capture of Cloud Resource Operation Records, and what roles do API Operation Tracking and Console Operation Records play in this?
A: Tencent Cloud CloudAudit comprehensively captures Cloud Resource Operation Records through multi-channel data collection: It automatically captures all operations initiated under a Tencent Cloud account via API services, the management console, command-line tools, and other channels, forming a complete event history and ensuring no omission of any cloud resource operations. API Operation Tracking is key to capturing program-level operations, precisely recording all cloud resource operations initiated through API calls, including details such as the calling account, request ID, and error codes, meeting the traceability needs of developers and system integration scenarios. Console Operation Records focus on manual operation scenarios, fully documenting operations performed through the management console, clearly identifying key information such as the operator and operation time, facilitating administrator monitoring of manual operations. Together, they cover all cloud resource operation scenarios, ensuring no blind spots in capturing Cloud Resource Operation Records and providing a comprehensive data foundation for subsequent Compliance Tracing and security analysis.
Q: How is the Operational Log Persistent Storage function of Tencent Cloud CloudAudit specifically implemented, what is its relationship with Compliance Tracing, and what value does it add to managing Cloud Resource Operation Records?
A: The Operational Log Persistent Storage function of Tencent Cloud CloudAudit is implemented through the tracking set feature: Users can create tracking sets to automatically and continuously store all Cloud Resource Operation Records under their account in Tencent Cloud Object Storage (COS). This overcomes the default 90-day retention limit, enabling long-term stable storage. This function is deeply linked to Compliance Tracing: Compliance Tracing requires complete, long-term Cloud Resource Operation Records as evidence. Operational Log Persistent Storage ensures that all operation records are traceable over the long term, allowing quick retrieval of historical operation logs during compliance audits to verify the compliance of operational behaviors. For managing Cloud Resource Operation Records, Operational Log Persistent Storage not only prevents the loss of critical records but also makes the management of Cloud Resource Operation Records more organized. Whether it's API Operation Tracking records or Console Operation Records, they can be stored long-term under a unified standard, facilitating user queries and exports at any time and significantly enhancing the utility value of Cloud Resource Operation Records.
Q: In Compliance Tracing scenarios, how do Tencent Cloud CloudAudit's API Operation Tracking and Console Operation Records work together to provide support, and what additional safeguards does Operational Log Persistent Storage offer?
A: In Compliance Tracing scenarios, the synergy between API Operation Tracking and Console Operation Records provides core support: API Operation Tracking supplies Cloud Resource Operation Records for program-initiated operations, including detailed technical call information, enabling traceability of operational compliance in scenarios such as system integration and automated scripts. Console Operation Records provide details of manually initiated operations, clearly identifying the operator's identity and actions, allowing verification of whether manual operations comply with requirements. Together, they form a comprehensive evidence chain for compliance across all scenarios, ensuring no blind spots in Compliance Tracing. Operational Log Persistent Storage offers critical safeguards for Compliance Tracing: On one hand, its long-term storage feature meets the requirement for retaining historical records in Compliance Tracing, allowing even API Operation Tracking records or Console Operation Records from several months ago to be quickly retrieved. On the other hand, operational logs stored in COS are highly reliable and secure, preventing risks of record loss or tampering during the tracing process, making Compliance Tracing results more credible and enabling more efficient and accurate traceability of Cloud Resource Operation Records.
