Controlling who can export logs

For each IBM Log Analysis instance, you can configure whether users can export data.

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. For information about IBM Cloud Logs, see the IBM Cloud Logs documentation.

When the export configuration setting is enabled, you can export data in JSONL format from an IBM Log Analysis instance.
