Access tracking (OSS SDK for Go 1.0)

Updated at:

To configure lifecycle rules based on the last access time policy to automatically monitor access patterns of objects in an Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket and move objects to more cost-effective storage classes, you must first enable access tracking.

Note

For more information about the API operation that you can call to query the time when an object was last accessed, see GetObjectMeta.

Usage notes

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions and endpoints.

  • In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.

  • This topic demonstrates creating an OSSClient instance with an OSS endpoint. For alternative configurations, such as using a custom domain or authenticating with credentials from Security Token Service (STS), see Configure a client (Go SDK V1).

Enable access tracking

The following sample code provides an example on how to enable access tracking for a bucket named examplebucket:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/aliyun/aliyun-oss-go-sdk/oss"
)

func main() {
	/// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
	provider, err := oss.NewEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error:", err)
		os.Exit(-1)
	}

	// Create an OSSClient instance. 
	// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. Specify your actual endpoint. 
	// Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou. Specify the actual region.
	clientOptions := []oss.ClientOption{oss.SetCredentialsProvider(&provider)}
	clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.Region("yourRegion"))
	// Specify the version of the signature algorithm.
	clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.AuthVersion(oss.AuthV4))
	client, err := oss.New("yourEndpoint", "", "", clientOptions...)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error:", err)
		os.Exit(-1)
	}
	// Specify the name of the bucket. 
	bucketName := "examplebucket"
	// Enable access tracking for examplebucket.    
	access := oss.PutBucketAccessMonitor{
		Status: "Enabled",
	}
	err = client.PutBucketAccessMonitor(bucketName, access)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error:", err)
		os.Exit(-1)
	}
	fmt.Println("put bucket access monitor success!")
}

Query the access tracking status

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the access tracking status of a bucket named examplebucket:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/aliyun/aliyun-oss-go-sdk/oss"
)

func main() {
	/// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
	provider, err := oss.NewEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error:", err)
		os.Exit(-1)
	}

	// Create an OSSClient instance. 
	// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. Specify your actual endpoint. 
	// Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou. Specify the actual region.
	clientOptions := []oss.ClientOption{oss.SetCredentialsProvider(&provider)}
	clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.Region("yourRegion"))
	// Specify the version of the signature algorithm.
	clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.AuthVersion(oss.AuthV4))
	client, err := oss.New("yourEndpoint", "", "", clientOptions...)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error:", err)
		os.Exit(-1)
	}
	// Specify the name of the bucket. 
	bucketName := "examplebucket"
	// View the access tracking status of examplebucket. 
	result, err := client.GetBucketAccessMonitor(bucketName)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error:", err)
		os.Exit(-1)
	}
	fmt.Printf("bucket access monitor config is:%s\n", result.Status)
}
