Audit events for Qiskit Runtime¶
As a security officer, auditor, or manager, you can use the IBM Cloud® Activity Tracker service to track how users and applications interact with the Qiskit Runtime service in IBM Cloud.
IBM Cloud Activity Tracker records user-initiated activities that change the state of a service in IBM Cloud. You can use this service to investigate abnormal activity and critical actions and to comply with regulatory audit requirements. In addition, you can be alerted about actions as they happen. The events that are collected comply with the Cloud Auditing Data Federation (CADF) standard. For more information, see the getting started tutorial for IBM Cloud Activity Tracker.
