# Logging

This document provides instructions to manage [<mark style="color:blue;">Logging</mark>](/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/settings/logging.md) using the CLI. Additionally, these tasks can also be performed using the [<mark style="color:blue;">DCD</mark>](/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/settings/logging.md#dcd) and [<mark style="color:blue;">API</mark>](https://api.ionos.com/docs/s3/v2/#tag/Logging).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisites:**

* Set up the AWS CLI by following the [<mark style="color:blue;">installation instructions</mark>](/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/s3-tools/awscli/awscli-configure.md).
* Make sure to consider the supported [<mark style="color:blue;">Endpoints</mark>](/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/endpoints.md).
  {% endhint %}

## Commands

{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisite:** Grant permissions to the Log Delivery Group to the bucket where logs will be stored. We recommend using a separate bucket for logs, but it must be in the same region. Log Delivery Group must be able to write objects and read ACL.
{% endhint %}

```bash
aws s3api put-bucket-acl \
    --bucket MY-BUCKET-FOR-LOGS \
    --grant-write URI=http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/s3/LogDelivery \
    --grant-read-acp URI=http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/s3/LogDelivery \
    --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com
```

After that, you can enable Logging for a bucket:

```bash
aws s3api put-bucket-logging \
    --bucket MY-BUCKET \
    --bucket-logging-status file://logs-acl.json \
    --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com
```

Contents of `logs-acl.json`:

![Logging](/files/QLXsaQ45WMHDYL98VCcF)

Retrieve bucket logging settings:

```bash
aws s3api get-bucket-logging \
   --bucket MY-BUCKET \
   --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com
```

Disable logging for a bucket:

```bash
aws s3api put-bucket-logging \
   --bucket MY-BUCKET \
   --bucket-logging-status '{}' \
   --endpoint-url https://s3.eu-central-2.ionoscloud.com
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/backup-and-storage/ionos-object-storage/s3-tools/awscli/awscli-logging.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
