Note: To use this document, you must configure your Distributed Cloud user cluster to forward log entries to Cloud Audit Logs.

To enable Cloud Audit Logs, you must configure the cloudAuditLogging section of your user cluster configuration file to properly forward log events. If your GKE clusters on GDC are not configured to forward log entries, you can view local audit logs by using keyword searches. Entries in local logs are formatted as described in this document.

This document describes how to use Cloud Audit Logs to query for log entries. You can also query log entries through the Cloud Audit Logs API.
