  • Patent number: 10609035
    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure describe access guards for multi-tenant logging. A method of the disclosure includes receiving an access request to access a logging stack comprising application logs, wherein the access request identifies a user identifier, identifying an authorization token associated with the user identifier, wherein the authorization token references an access role, and determining whether the application logs from the logging stack are accessible in view of the access role.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 31, 2020

  • Patent number: 10263993
    Abstract: A multi-tenant logging system that allows a user to have an individual profile that controls the user's access to tenant logs is provided. The system includes a plugin that adds features of an access control list (ACL) to indexes of a logging stack based on a user's access role. The stack is an aggregate of logs for nodes that are stored globally in the system. When a user requests a particular index to logs in the logging stack, an authorization token associated with the user is provided. Before the user request is allowed to proceed, the access guard plugin performs access control on the stack by referencing the ACL using the authorization token to determine which tenants a user can access in view of the user's current access role. The plugin uses the token and the user identifier to construct the ACL to enable each user's access to the stack.

  • Patent number: 9900317
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide access guards for multi-tenant logging. A method of the disclosure includes receiving, by a processing device of a multi-tenant system, an access request to access a logging stack comprising application logs associated with an execution of an application. Responsive to receiving the access request, a user identifier and an authorization token related to the user identifier are identified. Generating a modified request by adding the user identifier and authorization token to the access request. The authorization token references an access role for the user identifier from an access control list. Thereupon, the modified request is applied to the logging stack. The applied modified request identifies the application logs from the logging stack that are accessible in view of the access role.
