Audits
This page describes how to use Lenses to enable auditing to track every action in Lenses.
Lenses audits all user actions. Audit events can be viewed in Lenses and also sent to two channels, Splunk and Webhook.
Audits can also written to a file by setting a file path in the lenses.audit.to.log.file option in lenses.conf. Lenses will then write audit entries to disk as JSON for collection by your log aggregation systems.
Viewing audit logs in Lenses
Go to Admin->Audits->Logs. Lenses will display the activity including, who performed the action and when. Details can also be viewed (dependent on the action).
Sending audit logs to Splunk
To send audit logs to Splunk, you first need a Splunk connection. Go to Admin->Connection->New Connection and select Splunk.
Enter the connection details for your Splunk HTTP Event collector deployment.
Next, go to Admin->Audits->Channels->New Channel and select Splunk. Select a Splunk connection and set a Source.
Sending audit logs to a Webhook
First, you need a Webhook connection. Go to Admin->Connections->New Connection
Enter the URL, port and credentials.
Create a Channel to use the connection. Go to Admin->Audits->Channels->New Channel and select Webhook.
Choose a name for your Channel instance.
Select your connection.
Set the HTTP method to use.
Set the Request path. A URI-encoded request path, which may include a query string. Supports alert-variable interpolation.

Lenses can also audit users' access to data and send events to multiple channels at the same time.
