VMware Engine operator audit logging information

Activities of Google Cloud operators or support personnel on your private cloud are generated as audit logs. When manual interaction from the Google Cloud logs side is required, Google Cloud monitors the support representative's actions so that you can see what was done to your resource.

The protoPayload.metadata field is typed and unique to the operator and system audit logging methods.

insertID, logName, protopayload, receiveTimestamp, resource, and timestamp follow LogEntry methods.

protopayload.@type, protopayload.authenticationInfo, protopayload.methodName, protopayload.resourceName, and protopayload.serviceName follow AuditLog methods.

An individual entry in a log.
