Cloud Audit Logs for Cloud Storage

Cloud Audit Logs for Cloud Storage for Firebase let you track administrative and data-access operations on your resources to help you monitor access and configuration changes. You can query these logs in the Logs Explorer and check which Cloud Storage for Firebase API methods generate Cloud Audit Logs.

For more information about Cloud Audit Logs, see the following documents:

Service name

To view the Cloud Storage for Firebase audit logs, do the following:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Logs Explorer page:

    Go to Logs Explorer

  2. Copy and paste the following query into the Query field of the Logs Explorer, and then click Run query.

Methods by permission type

Each IAM permission has a type property, whose value is an enum that can be one of four values: ADMIN_READ, ADMIN_WRITE, DATA_READ, or DATA_WRITE. When you call a method, Cloud Storage for Firebase generates an audit log whose category is dependent on the type property of the permission required to perform the method. Methods that require an IAM permission with the type property value of DATA_READ, DATA_WRITE, or ADMIN_READ generate Data Access audit logs. Methods that require an IAM permission with the type property value of ADMIN_WRITE generate Admin Activity audit logs.

API methods in the following list that are marked with (LRO) are long-running operations (LROs). These methods usually generate two audit log entries: one when the operation starts and another when it ends. For more information see Audit logs for long-running operations.
