Enabling CTS

Scenarios

You need to enable Cloud Trace Service (CTS) before using it. A management tracker named system is automatically created when CTS is enabled. All traces recorded by CTS are associated with the tracker.

Trace files must be stored in an Object Storage Service (OBS) bucket. Ensure that you have enabled OBS and have full permissions for the OBS bucket you are going to use. By default, only the owner of OBS buckets can access the buckets and all objects contained in the buckets, but the owner can grant access permissions to other services and users by configuring access policies.

This section describes how to enable CTS.

Prerequisites

You have enabled OBS.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.

  2. Click image1 in the upper left corner and choose Management & Deployment > Cloud Trace Service. The CTS console is displayed.

  3. Choose Tracker List in the navigation pane on the left.

  4. Click Enable CTS.

  5. In the displayed dialog box, click Enable. A tracker is automatically created.

You can view the tracker information on the Tracker List page.

The tracker records operations on cloud resources performed by the tenant who creates the tracker. For details about the cloud services supported by CTS, see section "Supported Services and Operations" in the User Guide.
