Query Auditing

LogRhythm offers additional auditing to track the type of data accessed by analysts during ad hoc and saved searches in both the Client and Web Consoles. When a user runs a query (tail, investigation, drill-down, report, etc.) an audit log is generated and logged to the LRQueryAuditLog table in the EMDB (Event Management Database). The below table provides information on the Audit Log ID, Event ID, Event Date, User ID, Object Type ID, and Criteria Info.

Ensure you follow the below steps while query auditing:

  • The audit data must be obtained by querying the database. Entries are made in LRQueryAudit table when the following scheduled reports are run using the Job Manager:

    LR SIEM VersionsReport Names
    LR SIEM version 7.10 and prior
    • LogRhythm Auditing Activity Summary By User
    • LogRhythm Auditing Event Detail By User
    • LogRhythm Auditing Event Detail By Date
    LR SIEM version 7.11 and later
    • Usage Auditing Activity Summary

    • Usage Auditing Event Detail
    • Usage Auditing Event List
    • Usage Auditing Logon & Logoff Events
  • Installation or setup is not required. This feature is pre-installed in the Client Console.
  • The query data is stored in the EMDB. Each Elasticseach query can contain multiple parts and generate multiple lines of data. Customers should ensure that they have ample space available on the drive where the EMDB is stored as the table data can overflow quickly.
