Creating and modifying IBM Cloud Object Storage buckets

IBM Cloud Logs uses IBM Cloud Object Storage buckets to store data. You can create and maintain these buckets for your IBM Cloud Logs instance.

You should create a bucket with Cross Region resiliency to store and access data across multiple geographical regions to ensure high availability, durability, and disaster recovery capabilities. See Creating and modifying IBM Cloud Object Storage buckets.

Creating buckets

You must configure two IBM Cloud Object Storage buckets for your IBM Cloud Logs instance.

Data bucket

The data bucket is used to store all logs that are ingested, and not dropped during ingestion, as well as any logs that are dropped through a block rule and marked for storage in the data bucket.

For information on configuring the data bucket, see Configuring the data bucket.

Metrics bucket

The metrics bucket is used to store collected data usage metrics as well as metrics generated by IBM Cloud Logs..

For information on configuring the metrics bucket, see Configuring the metrics bucket.
