Virtual Private Cloud audit logging

This document describes audit logging for Virtual Private Cloud. Google Cloud servicesgenerate audit logs that record administrative and access activities within your Google Cloud resources.For more information about Cloud Audit Logs, see the following:

• Types of audit logs
• Audit log entry structure
• Storing and routing audit logs
• Cloud Logging pricing summary
• Enable Data Access audit logs

Notes

The following methods that start withgoogle.cloud.networkconnectivity.v1.PolicyBasedRoutingService use the service namenetworkconnectivity.googleapis.com.

Service name

Virtual Private Cloud audit logs use the service namecompute.googleapis.com.Filter for this service:

protoPayload.serviceName="compute.googleapis.com"

Methods by permission type

Each IAM permission has atype property, whose value is an enumthat can be one of four values:ADMIN_READ,ADMIN_WRITE,DATA_READ, orDATA_WRITE. When you call a method,Virtual Private Cloud generates an audit log whose category is dependent on thetype property of the permission required to perform the method.Methods that require an IAM permission with thetype property valueofDATA_READ,DATA_WRITE, orADMIN_READ generateData Access audit logs.Methods that require an IAM permission with thetype property valueofADMIN_WRITE generateAdmin Activity audit logs.

API interface audit logs

For information about how and which permissions are evaluated for each method,see the Identity and Access Management documentation for Virtual Private Cloud.
