This document describes audit logging for GKE Multi-Cloud products, including GKE on AWS, GKE on AWS, and GKE attached clusters (EKS, AKS, and generic). Google Cloud services generate audit logs that record administrative and access activities within your Google Cloud resources. To learn more about Cloud Audit Logs, refer to the following documentation pages:
- Types of audit logs
- Audit log entry structure
- Details on audit log storage and routing
- Cloud Logging pricing summary
- How to enable Data Access audit logs
Service name
GKE Multi-Cloud products, including GKE on AWS, GKE on AWS, and GKE attached clusters (EKS, AKS, and generic) audit logs use the service name gkemulticloud.googleapis.com.
Filter for this service:
protoPayload.serviceName="gkemulticloud.googleapis.com"
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,
GKE Multi-Cloud products, including GKE on AWS, GKE on AWS, and GKE attached clusters (EKS, AKS, and generic) 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.

Methods that don't produce audit logs
A method might not produce audit logs for one or more of the following reasons:
- It is a high volume method involving signifcant log generation and storage costs.
- It has low auditing value.
- Another audit or platform log already provides method coverage.
The following methods don't produce audit logs:
