Yandex Audit Trails

A service for collecting and exporting audit logs about events in Yandex Cloud resources.

Flexible audit log collection settings

Exporting logs to various systems

Export audit logs to an encrypted Object Storage bucket. Store logs for further analysis or export them to a third-party system.

Functions triggered by security events

Integration with Cloud Logging and Cloud Functions lets you set up triggers for events collected by Audit Trails to promptly respond to these events or notify users.

Online monitoring

Use the Yandex Monitoring service dashboard to display the frequency of events by service or event type and create alerts for them.

Integration with Cloud Logging

Export events to Cloud Logging to view and analyze events from the last few days.

Service-level events

You can enable collection of events from the service level (data plane) and get information about what is happening with the contents of the resources.
