Projects

Project is the top-level resource in Auditum. Projects contain all other resources like Records.

A project is a logical grouping of records. Typically, a project is created for each of the applications that is being audited.

List projects

Returns a list of projects by the provided criteria.

query Parameters
filter.external_ids
Array of strings

Filter projects by their external identifiers.

page_size
integer <int32>

The maximum number of projects to return. The service may return fewer than this value. If unspecified, at most 10 projects will be returned. The maximum value is 100; values above 100 will be coerced to 100.

page_token
string

A page token, received from a previous ListProjects call. Provide this to retrieve the subsequent page.

When paginating, all other parameters provided to ListProjects must match the call that provided the page token.

Records

Record is the core resource in Auditum. Records represent audit trail records a.k.a. audit logs.

List records

Returns a list of records by the provided criteria.

path Parameters
project_id
required
string

ID of the project that owns the records.

query Parameters
filter.labels[string]
string

This is a request variable of the map type. The query format is "map_name[key]=value", e.g. If the map name is Age, the key type is string, and the value type is integer, the query parameter is expressed as Age["bob"]=18

filter.resource_type
string

Return records with the provided resource type.

filter.resource_id
string

Return records with the provided resource ID.

filter.operation_type
string

Return records with the provided operation type.

filter.operation_id
string

Return records with the provided operation ID.

filter.operation_time_from
string <date-time>

Return records with operation time starting from the provided time, inclusive.

filter.operation_time_to
string <date-time>

Return records with operation time up to the provided time, exclusive.

filter.actor_type
string

Return records with the provided actor type.

filter.actor_id
string

Return records with the provided actor ID.

page_size
integer <int32>

The maximum number of records to return. The service may return fewer than this value. If unspecified, at most 10 records will be returned. The maximum value is 100; values above 100 will be coerced to 100.

page_token
string

A page token, received from a previous ListRecords call. Provide this to retrieve the subsequent page.

When paginating, all other parameters provided to ListRecords must match the call that provided the page token.

Create record

Creates a new audit record.

path Parameters
project_id
required
string

Identifier of the project the record belongs to.

Request Body schema: application/json
object (Record to create.)

Record to create.

object

Labels for the record that can be used for filtering. The labels are indexed, unlike metadata fields, which means it is possible to find records by their labels.

REQUIREMENTS. Mandatory: Keys must conform to the following regexp: [a-zA-Z0-9-_]+. Keys must be at least 1 byte in length. Configurable defaults: Keys must be at most 64 bytes in length. Values must be at most 256 bytes in length. The total size of all keys and values must be at most 2048 bytes.

EXAMPLE. In an example social website domain, records for both POST and COMMENT resources can be created with "post_id" label. This way all records related to the post and its comments can be retrieved in chronological order with one request by filtering with "post_id" label.

BEST PRACTICE.

  • Add only labels that are critical for chronological retrieval of records related to multiple resources.
  • Do not add labels for standard fields (such as resource type) as they are already available for filtering.
object (auditumio.auditum.v1alpha1.Resource)

Represents the audit record resource.

object (auditumio.auditum.v1alpha1.Operation)

Represents the audit record operation.

object (auditumio.auditum.v1alpha1.Actor)

Represents the audit record actor.
