Centralized read access logging

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for creating a read-access log. A business application may send a request for data to a backend system using a communication protocol. At the backend system, the request may be observed and a determination made as to whether the request for data is log-relevant. The determination may be based on a log configuration record associated with the business application making the request. A record may be written in a read-access log when it is determined that the request for data is log-relevant. The log record may include information used to map entity information from the retrieved data to a semantic entity.

1. A system including instructions executable by at least one processor, the system comprising:
the at least one processor; and at least one memory storing:
a plurality of business applications, each business application configured to request data from an interface technology using one of a number of communication protocols,a log configuration file, wherein a record in the log configuration file identifies one of the plurality of business applications and maps a business application entity name to a semantic entity name,a number of read access hooks configured to use the at least one processor to:
observe requests from the business applications for data, the requests made over the communication protocols, anddetermine that a particular request for data from a particular business application is log-relevant when at least one record in the log configuration file exists for the particular business application or exists for the particular business application and a business application entity associated with the request, anda log writer configured to use the at least one processor to write a record in a read-access log when the particular request for data is log-relevant, the record in the read-access log including information reflecting the particular request for data, the semantic entity name from the at least one record in the log configuration file, and a mapping of a business application entity returned in response to the particular request to a corresponding semantic entity name in the at least one record in the log configuration file.
