Activity tracking events for IBM watsonx Orchestrate on IBM Cloud

Important:Effective from 28 March 2024, the IBM Cloud Activity Tracker service is deprecated and will no longer be supported from 30 March 2025. You must migrate to IBM Cloud Logs before this date. During the migration period, customers can use IBM Cloud Activity Tracker along with IBM Cloud Logs. Activity tracking events are the same for both services. For information about migrating from IBM Cloud Activity Tracker to IBM Cloud Logs and running the services in parallel, see Migrating to IBM Cloud Logs.

IBM watsonx Orchestrate is a IBM Cloud service that generates activity tracking events. Activity tracking events report on activities that change the state of a service in IBM Cloud. Use the events to investigate abnormal activity and critical actions and to comply with regulatory audit requirements.

You can use IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing, a platform service to route auditing events in your account to destinations of your choice by configuring targets and routes that define where activity tracking events are sent. For more information, see About IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing.

You can use IBM Cloud Logs to visualize and alert on events that are generated in your account and routed by IBM Cloud Activity Tracker Event Routing to an IBM Cloud Logs instance. You can verify logs in your IBM Cloud Logs account. For more information on implementing IBM Cloud Logs, see Configuring an IBM Cloud Logs instance.
