Abstract: Applications create log entries comprising data regarding operations performed by the applications. The log entries are provided to an audit-log service to allow auditing of the log entries. An audit-log sidecar for each application is used to send log entries to the audit-log service. The audit-log service may experience downtime. If the audit-log service is unavailable, the log entries are sent to one or more other audit-log sidecars for storage. When the audit-log service again becomes available, all audit-log sidecars send their stored log entries to the audit-log service. In this way, the audit-log service is enabled to determine if there is a discrepancy between log entries reported by an application and log entries reported for the application by other audit-log sidecars. As a result, an attack on an application will not go undetected, even if the attack occurs while the audit-log service is unavailable.
