Auditing events for DB2 Warehouse
As a security officer, auditor, or manager, you can use the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker service to track how users and applications interact with the IBM® Db2® Warehouse on Cloud service in IBM Cloud.
As of 28 March 2024 the IBM Log Analysis and IBM Cloud Activity Tracker services are deprecated and will no longer be supported as of 30 March 2025. Customers will need to migrate to IBM Cloud Logs, which replaces these two services, prior to 30 March 2025.
You can provision an instance of IBM® Db2® Warehouse on Cloud through the IBM Cloud catalog. Learn more.
The IBM Cloud Activity Tracker service records user-initiated activities that change the state of a service in IBM Cloud. To get started monitoring your user's actions, see IBM Cloud Activity Tracker. An initiator can be a user, a service, or an application.
