Audit logs for Appengine datastore?

[Rob Curtis]

Hi,

Are there audit logs for the datastore used in Appengine?

I found this: https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/audit/#services but I don't see it there so wondered if it's possibly "bundled" with one of those other services.

Thanks

Datastore does not provide audit logging. However, users can view general audit logs using the Stackdriver logs for Datastore (see monitored resources ) which will show admin information on who, what type of data, where and when the service was used, among others. 

If you need more information than what's available, I recommend you file a feature request based on this article.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I'm struggling now to find the logs in the log viewer; all I see is Monitoring audit logs.

I had a look at the "activity" from the dashboard, which shows a bit more information, but no information with reference to the datastore (specifically I'm looking to see if a change I make as an admin, to a datastore entry, will show that I modified the data).

Is tracking this kind of change possible with the current setup?

Thanks

No, this is currently not possible because Cloud Datastore does not have data access logs, so this will not show up on the activity feed. Moreover, modifying an entry is not an admin job.

Ok, thanks.
