Service name
Policy Simulator audit logs use the service name policysimulator.googleapis.com
.
Filter for this service:
protoPayload.serviceName="policysimulator.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,
Policy Simulator 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:
google.cloud.policysimulator.v1alpha.Simulator.ListReplays
google.cloud.policysimulator.v1beta.Simulator.ListReplays
google.longrunning.Operations.GetOperation
google.longrunning.Operations.ListOperations
