Identity-Aware Proxy audit logging

This document describes audit logging for Identity-Aware Proxy. Google Cloud services generate audit logs that record administrative and access activities within your Google Cloud resources. For more information about Cloud Audit Logs, see the following:

Notes

The fields section describes important details about some fields in the audit log.

Service name

Identity-Aware Proxy audit logs use the service name iap.googleapis.com. Filter for this service:

    protoPayload.serviceName="iap.googleapis.com"
  

Methods by permission type

Each IAM permission has a type property, whose value is an enum that can be one of four values: ADMIN_READ, ADMIN_WRITE, DATA_READ, or DATA_WRITE. When you call a method, Identity-Aware Proxy generates an audit log whose category is dependent on the type property of the permission required to perform the method. Methods that require an IAM permission with the type property value of DATA_READ, DATA_WRITE, or ADMIN_READ generate Data Access audit logs. Methods that require an IAM permission with the type property value of ADMIN_WRITE generate Admin Activity audit logs.

ADMIN_READ google.cloud.iap.v1.IdentityAwareProxyAdminService.GetIamPolicy

Methods that don't produce audit logs

A method might not produce audit logs for one or more of the following reasons:

  • It is a high volume method involving signifcant log generation and storage costs.
  • It has low auditing value.
  • Another audit or platform log already provides method coverage.

The following methods don't produce audit logs:

  • google.cloud.iap.v1.IdentityAwareProxyOAuthService.CreateBrand
  • google.cloud.iap.v1.IdentityAwareProxyOAuthService.CreateIdentityAwareProxyClient
  • google.cloud.iap.v1.IdentityAwareProxyOAuthService.DeleteIdentityAwareProxyClient
  • google.cloud.iap.v1.IdentityAwareProxyOAuthService.GetBrand
  • google.cloud.iap.v1.IdentityAwareProxyOAuthService.GetIdentityAwareProxyClient
  • google.cloud.iap.v1.IdentityAwareProxyOAuthService.ListBrands
  • google.cloud.iap.v1.IdentityAwareProxyOAuthService.ListIdentityAwareProxyClients
  • google.cloud.iap.v1.IdentityAwareProxyOAuthService.ResetIdentityAwareProxyClientSecret
  • google.cloud.iap.v1beta1.IdentityAwareProxyAdminV1Beta1.TestIamPermissions

Fields

The logs only contain information about the access levels that a user has met. Access levels that blocked an unauthorized request are not listed in the log entry. To determine what conditions are required to make a successful request for a given resource, check the access levels for the resource.

The following are important details about some fields in the log:

Field Value
authenticationInfo The email of the user who tried to access the resource as principalEmail. This information is not present in logs for unauthenticated requests.
requestMetadata.callerIp The IP address the request originated from.
requestMetadata.requestAttributes The request method and URL.
authorizationInfo.resource The resource being accessed.
authorizationInfo.granted A boolean representing whether IAP permitted the requested access.
