About audit log streaming

You can help protect intellectual property and maintain compliance for your company by using streaming to keep copies of your audit log data. The audit log details events such as changes to settings and access, user membership, app permissions, and more. See Audit log events for your enterprise, Audit log events for your organization, and Security log events.

Streaming audit log data has these benefits:

• Data exploration. Examine streamed events using your preferred tool for querying large quantities of data. The stream contains both audit events and Git events across the entire enterprise account.
• Data retention. Keep your exported audit logs and Git events data as long as you need to.

You can set up or delete a stream at any time. The stream exports audit and Git events data for all of the organizations in your enterprise, for activity from the time the stream is enabled onwards.

All streamed audit logs are sent as compressed JSON files. The filename format is inYYYY/MM/HH/MM/<uuid>.json.gz.

Enabling audit log streaming can cause a minor impact on the performance of your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. To learn about increasing resources to mitigate this performance impact, see Increasing CPU or memory resources.

Health checks for audit log streams

Every 24 hours, a health check runs for each stream. If a stream is set up incorrectly, an email will be sent to the enterprise owners. To avoid audit log events being dropped from the stream, a misconfigured stream must be fixed within six days.

To fix your streaming configuration, follow the steps in Setting up audit log streaming.

Setting up audit log streaming

To set up the audit log stream, follow the instructions for your provider:

• Amazon S3
• Azure Blob Storage
• Azure Event Hubs
• Datadog
• Google Cloud Storage
• Splunk

Setting up streaming to Amazon S3

To set up audit log streaming from GitHub you will need:

• Your AWS access key ID
• Your AWS secret key

For information on creating or accessing your access key ID and secret key, see Understanding and getting your AWS credentials in the AWS documentation.

From AWS:

1. Create a bucket, and block public access to the bucket. See Creating, configuring, and working with Amazon S3 buckets in the AWS documentation.

2. Create a policy that allows GitHub to write to the bucket. Copy the following JSON and replace EXAMPLE-BUCKET with the name of your bucket. GitHub requires only the permissions in this JSON.

   {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
         {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
               "s3:PutObject"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::EXAMPLE-BUCKET/*"
        }
      ]
   }
   

   See Creating IAM policies in the AWS documentation.
