Agents for custom logs:

  • Deploy Agent for collecting logs from on-premises and multi-cloud resources.

Built on open standards

  • Leverages Fluentd for ingesting logs.
  • Compliant with CNCF cloudevents 1.0.

Typical use cases: Troubleshooting resource issues, auditing access, monitoring for security events, and analyzing application behavior.

Comprehensive Log Coverage Includes:

  • User access activities.
  • Business user interactions.
  • Batch processing logs (errors and outputs).

Troubleshooting application issues, monitoring security events, optimizing resource usage, and compliance reporting.

Is there a preference for capturing CCS Login ID (user@test.com) or CCS User (testuser) logs, or should both be retained?

For access logs, the userId is recorded in an email-style format, such as user@test.com. For user and batch logs, the application records the userId in username format, such as testuser. To ensure complete traceability across all log types, retain both formats.
