This document describes audit logging for Cloud Workstations. Google Cloud services generate audit logs that record administrative and access activities within your Google Cloud resources. For more information about Cloud Audit Logs, see the following:
- Types of audit logs
- Audit log entry structure
- Storing and routing audit logs
- Cloud Logging pricing summary
- Enable Data Access audit logs
Service name
Cloud Workstations audit logs use the service name workstations.googleapis.com
.
Filter for this service:
protoPayload.serviceName="workstations.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,
Cloud Workstations 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.workstations.v1.Workstations.ListUsableWorkstationConfigs
google.cloud.workstations.v1.Workstations.ListUsableWorkstations
google.cloud.workstations.v1beta.Workstations.ListUsableWorkstationConfigs
