Service Logs that Are Actually Being Written
Every OCI service log is off until somebody turns it on: a VCN records no flow log, a load balancer no access log, a bucket no read log. Each log here is one service, one resource, one category, created enabled; a log created with is_enabled = false appears in the list and records nothing, and has to be accepted by name. Retention is 30 days by default and the shortest is reported.

Documentation
oci-logging
OCI service logs that are actually being written. Works with Terraform and
OpenTofu (>= 1.6), oci provider >= 8.0, < 9.0.
Every service log is off until somebody turns it on. A VCN records no flow log, a load balancer no access log, a bucket no read or write log - the service runs, the console shows it healthy, and the first time anybody wants to know who fetched the object there is nothing to look at. Each log here is one service, one resource, one category, created enabled.
is_enabled = false creates the log in the list and writes nothing to it.
It is how a log is paused during a noisy migration, and how it stays paused.
Refused without accept_disabled_logs.
Retention is 30 days by default, in steps of 30 up to 180. Six months is
the most the service keeps; beyond that is a Service Connector to Object
Storage. shortest_retention_days reports the oldest question the group can
answer.
A log group is a permission boundary. IAM on logging is written against the group, so one group per audience is the pattern.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

Related modules
oci-service-connector
OCI Logging keeps a log for at most six months; a service connector from a log group to Object Storage is the archive, and it can be created INACTIVE, which is how one that was set up has moved nothing since. Created active, reads a whole log group so new logs are included, writes to a bucket, stream, function, topic, metric or Log Analytics, and exports the IAM statement the hub needs.
oci-monitoring-alarms
An email subscription delivers nothing until somebody clicks its confirmation link, and until then every alarm publishes to a subscriber who is not there; repeat_notification_duration is null by default, so an alarm fires once at 3am and is never mentioned again. Creates the topic, subscriptions and alarms together, repeats while firing, and lists the subscriptions still waiting on a click.
oci-audit
Audit retention set to the 365-day ceiling OCI allows, plus the archive for everything past it: a private bucket with a retention rule (seven years by default, lockable by a date you pass), the service connector that streams every compartment's audit events into it, and the IAM policy without which the connector sits in FAILED. Your Vault key, or the Oracle-managed one by name.
oci-health-checks
A monitor can be created disabled and probes nothing; one vantage point reports the site down when that location is; and a monitor is a metric, not an alarm - nothing pages until Monitoring reads it. Enabled monitors over HTTPS from three regions by default, and the MQL query each one needs in an alarm exported for the oci-monitoring-alarms module.
oci-vcn-flow-logs
VCN flow logs for the subnets you list, since OCI logs per subnet and a subnet added later has none: a log per subnet in a log group created or given, category all rather than reject, ninety days of retention rather than the thirty-day default, and the subnet map as the list to update. Flow logs are the largest log in a tenancy; the map is also the bill.
