Logging and monitoring are essential for ensuring the availability of your Object Storage Service (OSS) resources, maintaining business continuity, and monitoring system health. Alibaba Cloud provides various services for monitoring and log auditing, such as CloudMonitor, Simple Log Service, and Cloud Config.
