Enabling Activity Tracker events

In IBM Cloud Activity Tracker, events are collected automatically for most enabled-services. However, some services might require an upgrade of the service plan, a configuration setting, or both, for you to be able to collect and analyze them.

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.
