Audit logging for workflows

This document describes audit logging for Workflows, which methods generate audit logs, details about the audit logs each method produces, and which methods do not produce audit logs, if any. Google Cloud generates audit logs that record administrative and access activities within your Google Cloud resources. For more information, see Cloud Audit Logs overview.

Service name

Workflows audit logs use the service name workflows.googleapis.com.

Methods by permission type

Methods that check DATA_READ, DATA_WRITE, and ADMIN_READ permissions generate logs categorized as Data Access audit logs. Methods that check ADMIN_WRITE permissions generate logs categorized as 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.location.Locations.GetLocation
• google.cloud.location.Locations.ListLocations
• google.longrunning.Operations.CancelOperation
• google.longrunning.Operations.WaitOperation
