CLOUD BASED LOGGING SERVICE

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for providing access to a cloud-based logging service to a user without requiring user registration. Methods and systems are also provided for providing cloud-based logging service to users by integrating the cloud-based logging service within a network security gateway appliance, thereby enabling the users to use the cloud-based logging service by accessing the gateway appliance. The cloud-based logging service can be accessed via an Application Programming Interface (API) without requiring user registration and allows easy and efficient access to log files, viewing of log files, and data security to stored log files and generated reports. Methods and systems of the present invention can also be used for multiple other purposes apart from using the cloud-based logging service without registration including, but not limited to, reducing the complexity of a network architecture, providing better and more effective GUI representation and minimizing distribution of data over a controlled network, among other such purposes.

主权项

1. A system for managing access to a cloud-based logging service through a network security gateway appliance comprising:
one or more processors; a communication interface device; one or more internal data storage devices operatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing: a cloud-based logging service settings module configured to integrate and customize the cloud-based logging service within the network security gateway appliance by making the cloud-based logging service accessible via an interface of the network security gateway appliance; a cloud-based logging service access module configured to receive, via the interface, a request to access the cloud-based logging service from an administrator of the network security gateway appliance, wherein the cloud-based logging service access module is further configured to analyze the request and retrieve logs from the cloud-based logging service for processing; and an output module configured to receive the processed logs at the network security gateway appliance and output the processed logs to the administrator.
