Activity Tracker events

IBM Cloud

As of 28 March 2024, the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker service is deprecated and will no longer be supported as of 30 March 2025. Customers will need to migrate to IBM Cloud Logs before 30 March 2025. During the migration period, customers can use IBM Cloud Activity Tracker along with IBM Cloud Logs. Activity tracking events are the same for both services. For information about migrating from IBM Cloud Activity Tracker to IBM Cloud Logs and running the services in parallel, see migration planning.

As a security officer, auditor, or manager, you can use the Activity Tracker service to track how users and applications interact with IBM Watson® Text to Speech in IBM Cloud®.

IBM Cloud Activity Tracker records user-initiated activities that change the state of a service in IBM Cloud. You can use this service to investigate abnormal activity and critical actions and to comply with regulatory audit requirements. In addition, you can be alerted about actions as they happen. The events that are collected comply with the Cloud Auditing Data Federation (CADF) standard. For more information, see the tutorial Getting started with IBM Cloud Activity Tracker.

Where to view events

Events that are generated by an instance of the Text to Speech service are automatically forwarded to the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker service instance that is available in the same location.

IBM Cloud Activity Tracker can have only one instance per location. To view events, you must access the web user interface (UI) of the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker service in the same location where your service instance is available. For more information, see Navigating to the UI.
