Grant Access to Data in Audit Indexes

Closed Beta

This feature is in Beta. To participate, contact your Sumo Logic account executive.

Sumo Logic has added new role capabilities that allow you to grant access to the following audit indexes:

  • Search Audit Index. Contains logs on search usage and activities for your account, and is stored in the sumologic_search_usage_per_query partition.
  • Data Volume Index. Contains logs that provide visibility in ingest volume, and is stored in the sumologic_volume_index partition.
  • Audit Event Index. Contains JSON logs on account activities, both actions initiated by users and actions initiated by Sumo Logic. User event logs ares stored in the sumologic_audit_events partition. Sumo Logic event logs are stored in the sumologic_system_events partition.
  • Audit Index. Contains account activity logs from Sumo Logic's older logging framework, and is stored in the sumologic_audit partition.

With this change, role search filters will no longer be applied to audit indexes. Log Monitors use the view audit index capability of their creator.

The table below describes the role capabilities required to access audit indexes.
