Datastore audit logging

This document describes audit logging for Datastore. Google Cloud services write audit logs that record administrative activities and accesses within your Google Cloud resources. For more information, see Cloud Audit Logs overview.

Notes

To view the time it took to process a DATA_READ or DATA_WRITE request, see the processing_duration field within the metadata object of an AuditLog.processing_duration describes the time the database took to actually process a request. This is smaller than the end-user latency. In particular, it does not include network overhead.

Service name

Datastore audit logs use the service name datastore.googleapis.com.

Methods by permission type

Methods that check DATA_READ, DATA_WRITE, and ADMIN_READ permission types are Data Access audit logs. Methods that check ADMIN_WRITE permission types are Admin Activity audit logs.
