Abstract: A compliant auditing architecture is implemented such that a uniform experience of collecting, storing, and interacting with audit data may be provided for various compliance scenarios. A user action to be audited may be detected through a user interface of an auditing application, and a protocol service of the application may generate an audit event corresponding to the user action. The protocol service may transmit audit data associated with the audit event to a local queue of a datacenter for short-term storage, and an upload service hosted by the datacenter may upload the audit data from the local queue, and transmit the audit data to a data store for long-term storage. In response to a request from an administrator, the stored audit data may be converted to a format compatible with one or more compliance interfaces, and transmitted to the administrator through the interfaces for querying and/or reporting.
