title: Google cloud sql data read audit log
body: <p>I need to log all the queries on my sql instances, filter those that seem to fetch too many rows  and archive it for a period of time.</p>
  <p><a href="https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/audit-logging" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Doc</a> says</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>(2) All SQL queries executed on the database instance</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>about &quot;Data Access audit logs&quot;.</p>
  <p>So I've set out to enable access audit logs for my cloud sql server.
  I have checked data read in the audit logs api page as said in <a href="https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/audit/configure-data-access#config-console-enable" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere in the log explorer. I have aleady checked log names for &quot;projects/PROJECT_NAME/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Fdata_access&quot; to no use.</p>
  <p>What am I missing? what am I doing wrong?</p>
