Domino automatically creates an audit trail for Domino Data Source activity that records the WHO, WHERE, WHEN & WHAT for user activity. Audit trails can provide a means to help accomplish several security-related objectives, including the following:
-
Individual accountability
-
Reconstruction of events or security breaches
-
Intrusion Detection
-
Problem Analysis
-
Ensuring compliance with industry regulations
|
Tip
|
We recommend you use at least dominodatalab-data==5.7.2 PyPI version for the most thorough metadata event tracking. For R users, we recommend the latest 0.2.4 DominoDataR release.
|
Domino logs the following Data Source events:
-
Create Data Sources
-
Delete Data Sources
-
Edit Data Source permissions
-
Edit Data Source ownership
-
Access Data Sources from Domino executions
-
Add Data Sources to projects
-
Remove Data Sources from projects
|
Note
| Data Source access events are logged for all executions (Workspaces, Jobs, Scheduled Jobs, Apps, and Launchers), except Domino endpoints. |
Access the audit logs via the web UI or Public REST API endpoint, /api/datasource/v1/audit.
Use the Data Source audit Public REST API endpoint, /api/datasource/v1/audit, which takes several optional filter parameters, to access Data Source logs programmatically.
All requests must contain the header X-Domino-Api-Key with a value corresponding to a SysAdmin API key.
Unfiltered Data Source audit API sample
The following is a request with no filter parameters, it returns all events within the last 24 hours.
// request
https://<domino-url>/api/datasource/v1/audit
// response: with no filter parameters, all events in the last 24 hours are returned
