The Unified Maintenance service sends maintenance logs automatically without any
additional configuration. If you have been granted one of the basic roles (Viewer, Editor, or Owner) in Cloud Logging
for your project, you have the necessary permissions to access Unified Maintenance
logs. To learn more about the required permissions, see Access control with IAM.
You cannot deactivate Unified Maintenance, but you can opt out of storing logs.
To opt out, see Turn off maintenance logs.
To monitor the resource usage of Unified Maintenance logs in your projects, you can
create a metric-threshold alerting policy. For more information, see Create metric-threshold alerting policies in the Google Cloud Observability documentation.
