Deprecation notice: The /audit endpoint has been deprecated and replaced by .
All activity in Immuta is audited. This process provides rich audit logs that detail who subscribes to each data source, why they subscribe, when they access data, what SQL queries and blob fetches they run, and which files they access. Audit logs can be used for a number of intentions, including insider threat surveillance and data access monitoring for billing purposes. Audit logs can also be shipped to your enterprise auditing capability.
By default, Immuta stores most audit records for 60 days. The following audit record types do not expire after 60 days:
blobFetch
dataSourceSubscription
globalPolicyApproved
globalPolicyApprovalRescinded
globalPolicyChangeRequested
globalPolicyConflictResolved
globalPolicyCreate
globalPolicyDelete
globalPolicyDisabled
globalPolicyUpdate
nativeQuery
policyExemption
policyHandlerCreate
policyHandlerUpdate
prestoQuery
spark
sqlQuery
When running Immuta on Docker-based installations, all logs from the Immuta Docker containers will be sent to the Docker log driver.
level: This is a string representation of the log level. Acceptable values are "debug", "info", "warning", "error", and "audit".
timestamp: This is a timestamp for when the message occurred. The timestamp format is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ (ISO 8601).
Generally, any query that causes multiple background queries will have an audit record created for each. The audited plan should be different, however, for each record. For example, subqueries will generate two audit records: one for the subquery and one for the outer query.
Immuta does not audit any notebook cells that don’t query data.
