A method, system, and/or computer program product establishes and utilizes a tenant-specific log for events related to a cloud-based service. A metamodel is created for a cloud-based service running on a cloud. The cloud-based service is provided to a specific tenant of the cloud, and the metamodel describes types of resources, on the cloud, that are providing the cloud-based service for the specific tenant. The metamodel is appended to the cloud-based service. In response to the cloud-based service being executed for the specific tenant of the cloud, the metamodel is used to identify a set of resources that are actually providing the cloud-based service for the specific tenant. A tenant-specific log for events related to the cloud-based service is established, where the tenant-specific log tracks events that occur on each actual resource on the cloud that provides the cloud-based service to the specific tenant. The tenant-specific log is then retrieved.
