In their own words
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging is a cloud service for collecting and working with audit logs, OCI service logs, and custom application logs. It supports SQL-like searches, filtering, aggregation, and visualization across infrastructure, application, audit, and database logs, with structured parsing and log pipelines. Custom logs can come from OCI instances, Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes, on-premises environments, and other cloud providers. Listed service sources include Network Flow Logs, Load Balancer, Object Storage, Functions, API Gateway, and Events. You can use the OCI console, an SDK, command-line interface, REST API, or Terraform. Connector Hub can route logs to Monitoring, Notifications, Streaming, third-party destinations including Splunk, or Object Storage; exports to Object Storage can provide indefinite retention. Ingestion uses Fluentd, and events are normalized to CloudEvents 1.0. Access is managed through log groups and Oracle Identity and Access Management policies. The free tier includes 10 GB of log storage per month, with ingestion and search free. Pay-as-you-go storage is $0.05 per GB stored per month.
