App Engine Memcache audit logging

This document describes audit logging for App Engine Memcache. 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:

Notes

Audit logs only apply to operations made through Cloud Console. Memcache operations initiated within your app will not be audit logged.

Service name

App Engine Memcache audit logs use the service name appenginememcacheconsole.googleapis.com. Filter for this service:

    protoPayload.serviceName="appenginememcacheconsole.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, App Engine Memcache 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.

Permission type Methods
DATA_READ cloud_cache.MemcacheAdminService.GetMemcacheItem
DATA_WRITE cloud_cache.MemcacheAdminService.DeleteMemcacheItem
cloud_cache.MemcacheAdminService.FlushAllMemcacheItems
cloud_cache.MemcacheAdminService.SetMemcacheItem

API interface audit logs

For information about how and which permissions are evaluated for each method, see the Identity and Access Management documentation for App Engine Memcache.
