Cloud SQL for MySQL audit logging

This document describes audit logging for Cloud SQL. 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:

Service name

Cloud SQL audit logs use the service name cloudsql.googleapis.com. Filter for this service: 

protoPayload.serviceName="cloudsql.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 SQL 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.

API methods in the following list that are marked with (LRO) are long-running operations (LROs). These methods usually generate two audit log entries: one when the operation starts and another when it ends. For more information see Audit logs for long-running operations.
