Sumo Logic Enterprise Audit apps

The Sumo Logic Enterprise Audit apps are JSON-based to provide for more meaningful audit messages. The apps generate queries that are compatible with the new Sumo Logic Audit Event Index. The Enterprise Audit apps do not support the previous version of the audit index. For information on available datasets and related source categories, see Audit Event Index.

Prerequisites

The Audit Event Index is only available for Trial and Enterprise accounts.

Enterprise Audit Apps

Enterprise Audit Apps utilize predefined searches and Dashboards that provide visibility into your environment. The following Enterprise Audit Apps present information on account management activities, user activities, as well as management of library content (searches, dashboards/reports, and folders) for your Sumo Logic account:

• Enterprise Audit - Collector and Data Forwarding Management App presents information on Collector, Sources activities, and data forwarding trends by destination types.
  

• Enterprise Audit - Content Management App provides information on content activities, such as content that is created, updated, deleted, imported, exported, copied, moved, publicly accessed, made visible to the public, and application installed.
  

• Enterprise Audit - User & Role Management App provides visibility on user activities such as creating, deleting, and modifying user roles, email account, and password changes. You can also review various user session data.
  

• Enterprise Audit - Security Management App provides visibility into security posture, such as Access Key Activities, SAML Activities, Password Policy, Multi-Factor Authorization (MFA), and Service AllowList activities within your Sumo Logic Environment.
  

Audit data is not backfilled to any time before Enterprise Audit was installed. The Audit Event Index is enabled by default.

Installing Enterprise Audit apps

To install the app:

1. Select App Catalog.
2. In the Search Apps field, search for and then select your app.
3. Optionally, you can scroll down to preview the dashboards included with the app. Then, click Install App (sometimes this button says Add Integration).
4. Click Next.
5. Look for the dialog confirming that your app was installed successfully.
   

Once an app is installed, it will appear in your Personal folder or the folder that you specified. From here, you can share it with other users in your organization. Dashboard panels will automatically start to fill with data matching the time range query received since you created the panel. Results won't be available immediately, but within about 20 minutes, you'll see completed graphs and maps.

Viewing Enterprise Audit App Dashboards

All dashboards have a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard. Use these filters to drill down and examine the data to a granular level.

• You can change the time range for a dashboard or panel by selecting a predefined interval from a drop-down list, choosing a recently used time range, or specifying custom dates and times. Learn more.
• You can use template variables to drill down and examine the data on a granular level. For more information, see Filtering Dashboards with Template Variables.
• Most Next-Gen apps allow you to provide the scope at the installation time and are comprised of a key (_sourceCategory by default) and a default value for this key. Based on your input, the app dashboards will be parameterized with a dashboard variable, allowing you to change the dataset queried by all panels. This eliminates the need to create multiple copies of the same dashboard with different queries.
