Bucket logging for Multicloud Object Gateway

Bucket logging helps in recording the S3 operations that are performed against the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) bucket for compliance, auditing, and optimization purposes.

Bucket logging supports the following two options:
  • Best-Effort: Bucket logging is recorded by using the Unified Data Platform (UDP) on a best-effort basis.
  • Guaranteed: Bucket logging with this option creates a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) attached to the MCG pods and saves the logs to this PVC on a guaranteed basis, and then from the PVC to the log buckets. When this option is used, logging occurs twice for each S3 operation, as follows:
    • At the start of processing the request.
    • At the end, with the result of the S3 operation.
