Introduction

The next step is to create an Activity Tracker instance. In the Regulated Archive scenario, IBM Cloud Activity Tracker is used to investigate abnormal activities and critical actions, and comply with regulatory audit requirements. Learn more about Activity Tracker here.

By default, COS bucket management events are collected automatically, but collection of data events is optional. Each bucket must be configured to enable collection of data events. In this demonstration script, Activity Tracker is enabled to collect all COS-related activity. The events that are collected comply with the Cloud Auditing Data Federation (CADF) standard.
