Activity tracker events for IBM Storage Ceph as a Service

IBM Cloud services, such as IBM® Storage Ceph® as a Service, generate activity tracking events.

Activity tracking events report on activities that change the state of a service in IBM Cloud. You can use the events to investigate abnormal activity and critical actions and to comply with regulatory audit requirements.

You can use IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing, a platform service to route auditing events from your account to destinations of your choice, by configuring targets and routes, that define where activity tracking events are sent. For instructions, see Configuring an IBM Cloud Logs target.

For more information, see About IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing.
