Configure audit logs

This page describes how to configure audit logs in Pinecone. Audit logs provide a detailed record of user, service account, and API actions that occur within Pinecone. Pinecone supports Amazon S3 as a destination for audit logs.

​

Enable audit logs

1. Set up a IAM policy and role in Amazon S3.
2. Go to Settings > Audit logs in the Pinecone console.
3. Enter the Role ARN of the IAM role you created.
4. Enter the name of the Amazon S3 bucket you created.
5. Click Enable audit logging.

Once you enable audit logs, Pinecone will start writing logs to the S3 bucket. In your bucket, you will also see a file named audit-log-access-test, which is a test file that Pinecone writes to verify that it has the necessary permissions to write logs to the bucket.

​

View audit logs

Logs are written to the S3 bucket approximately every 30 minutes. Each log batch will be saved into its own file as a JSON blob, keyed by the time of the log to be written. Only logs since the integration was created and enabled will be saved.

For more information about the log schema and captured events, see Understanding security - Audit logs.
