# Activity tracking events for enterprise management
{: #at_events_em}



IBM Cloud services, such as enterprise management, generate activity tracking events.
{: shortdesc}

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 in your account to destinations of your choice by configuring targets and routes that define where activity tracking events are sent. For more information, see [About IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/atracker?topic=atracker-about&format=markdown).

You can use IBM Cloud Logs to visualize and alert on events that are generated in your account and routed by IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing to an IBM Cloud Logs instance.

## Locations where activity tracking events are sent by IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing
{: #atracker-locations-em}

Enterprise management sends activity tracking events by IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing in the regions that are indicated in the following table.
