Audit data access rules

This endpoint enables you to restrict the search and access privileges of usergroups to audit data.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/acl/audit_data
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

Sample request

The following command lists the available audit data access rules.

curl --cookie cookies.txt https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/acl/audit_data

Query a specific audit data access rule

To find out the contents of a particular audit data access rule, complete the following steps:

NOTE: If you have an SPS user who has Search > Access all sessions privileges in Users & Access Control > Appliance Access, the autogenerated-all-data-access-id rule is automatically generated. Therefore, you can almost always query this audit data access rule.

  1. Query the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/acl/audit_data/<key-of-rule-to-be-queried> endpoint.
    curl --cookie cookies.txt https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/acl/audit_data/<key-of-rule-to-be-queried>

    The following is a sample response received.

Status and error codes

The following table lists the typical status and error codes for this request. For a complete list of error codes, see Application level error codes.

Code Description Notes
201 Created The new resource was successfully created.

400

SemanticError

The configuration contains semantic errors, inconsistencies or other problems that would put the system into an unreliable state if the configuration had been applied. The details section contains the errors that were found in the configuration.

401 Unauthenticated The requested resource cannot be retrieved because the client is not authenticated and the resource requires authorization to access it. The details section contains the path that was attempted to be accessed, but could not be retrieved.
403 Unauthorized The requested resource cannot be retrieved because the client is not authorized to access it. The details section contains the path that was attempted to be accessed, but could not be retrieved.
404 NotFound The requested object does not exist.

Active sessions

The api/active-sessions endpoint has only one parameter and it only serves the DELETE request that closes the specified session.

URL
DELETE https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/active-sessions?id=<session_id>
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

Sample request

The following command lists the Access Control Lists (ACLs):

curl --cookie cookies.txt https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/aaa/acls

The user (in this example, user1) has to be a member of a group that has read and write/perform privileges for Active Sessions (/special/active_sessions). After authentication, user1 can close the active session determined by the session ID.

curl -k --user user1 --cookie-jar /tmp/cookie https://192.168.122.194/api/authentication
curl -k --cookie /tmp/cookie https://192.168.122.194/api/active-sessions?id=svc/rpokH8fD9kx6CaxNLznKx2/test:12 -X DELETE
Closing active sessions in a cluster environment

In a cluster environment, after authentication, user1 can close active sessions recorded on Search Minion nodes through the Search Master node's IP address.

curl -k --cookie /tmp/cookie https://<IP-address-of-Search-Master-SPS>/api/active-sessions?id=<session_id> -X DELETE

Active sessions recorded on the Search Local node can be closed only from the node itself.

curl -k --cookie /tmp/cookie https://<IP-address-of-Search-Local-SPS>/api/active-sessions?id=<session_id> -X DELETE

Active sessions recorded on the Search Minion node can be closed from the node itself, as well.

curl -k --cookie /tmp/cookie https://<IP-address-of-Search-Minion-SPS>/api/active-sessions?id=<session_id> -X DELETE

NOTE: The following scenarios are not supported:

  • Closing an active session recorded on Search Local node from the Search Master node.

500 SessionTerminationFailed The session could not be terminated due to internal errors.
500 RemoteNodeInfoMissing The cluster node where the session is being recorded is missing from your primary node's configuration. For assistance, contact our Support Team.
