Collect D3 Banking logs
This document explains how to ingest D3 Banking logs to Google Security Operations using Google Cloud Storage V2.
D3 Banking (now NCR Voyix Digital Banking) is a cloud-hosted digital banking platform that generates audit and transaction logs for online banking operations, user sessions, and administrative actions. The NCR Voyix Digital Banking REST API provides programmatic access to audit logs and event data.
Before you begin
Make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- A Google SecOps instance
- A GCP project with Cloud Storage API enabled
- Permissions to create and manage GCS buckets
- Permissions to manage IAM policies on GCS buckets
- Permissions to create Cloud Run services, Pub/Sub topics, and Cloud Scheduler jobs
- Privileged access to the D3 Banking (NCR Voyix) platform with administrator role
- OAuth2 credentials (client ID and client secret) for the NCR Voyix Digital Banking API
Create Google Cloud Storage bucket
- Go to the Google Cloud Console.
- Select your project or create a new one.
- In the navigation menu, go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
- Click Create bucket.
Provide the following configuration details:
Setting Value Name your bucket Enter a globally unique name (for example, d3-banking-audit-logs)Location type Choose based on your needs (Region, Dual-region, Multi-region) Location Select the location (for example, us-central1)Storage class Standard (recommended for frequently accessed logs) Access control Uniform (recommended) Protection tools Optional: Enable object versioning or retention policy Click Create.
Collect D3 Banking API credentials
Obtain OAuth2 credentials
- Sign in to the D3 Banking (NCR Voyix) admin portal.
- Navigate to Administration > API Management (or Settings > Integrations).
- Click Register Application or Create API Client.
- Enter a name for the application (for example,
Google Security Operations Integration). - Note the following credentials:
- Client ID: The OAuth2 client identifier
- Client Secret: The OAuth2 client secret
Note the API base URL for your tenant (for example,
https://api.d3banking.com/v1or a tenant-specific URL).
Verify API access
Test your credentials before proceeding with the integration:
# Replace with your actual credentials CLIENT_ID="your-client-id" CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret" D3_BASE="https://api.d3banking.com/v1" # Obtain access token TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST "${D3_BASE}/oauth/token" \ -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \ -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=${CLIENT_ID}&client_secret=${CLIENT_SECRET}" \ | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['access_token'])") # Test audit log access curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \ "${D3_BASE}/audit-logs?limit=1" | head -c 500
Create a service account for the Cloud Run function
The Cloud Run function needs a service account with permissions to write to GCS bucket and be invoked by Pub/Sub.
Create the service account
- In the GCP Console, go to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.
- Click Create Service Account.
- Provide the following configuration details:
- Service account name: Enter
d3-banking-logs-collector-sa - Service account description: Enter
Service account for Cloud Run function to collect D3 Banking logs
- Service account name: Enter
- Click Create and Continue.
- In the Grant this service account access to project section, add the following roles:
- Click Select a role.
- Search for and select Storage Object Admin.
- Click + Add another role.
- Search for and select Cloud Run Invoker.
- Click + Add another role.
- Search for and select Cloud Functions Invoker.
- Click Continue.
- Click Done.
These roles are required for:
- Storage Object Admin: Write logs to GCS bucket and manage state files
- Cloud Run Invoker: Allow Pub/Sub to invoke the function
- Cloud Functions Invoker: Allow function invocation
Grant IAM permissions on GCS bucket
Grant the service account write permissions on the GCS bucket:
- Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
- Click on your bucket name (for example,
d3-banking-audit-logs). - Go to the Permissions tab.
- Click Grant access.
- Provide the following configuration details:
- Add principals: Enter the service account email (for example,
d3-banking-logs-collector-sa@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com) - Assign roles: Select Storage Object Admin
- Add principals: Enter the service account email (for example,
- Click Save.
Create Pub/Sub topic
Create a Pub/Sub topic that Cloud Scheduler will publish to and the Cloud Run function will subscribe to.
- In the GCP Console, go to Pub/Sub > Topics.
- Click Create topic.
- Provide the following configuration details:
- Topic ID: Enter
d3-banking-logs-trigger - Leave other settings as default
- Topic ID: Enter
- Click Create.
Create a Cloud Run function to collect logs
The Cloud Run function will be triggered by Pub/Sub messages from Cloud Scheduler to fetch logs from the NCR Voyix Digital Banking REST API and write them to GCS.
- In the GCP Console, go to Cloud Run.
- Click Create service.
- Select Function (use an inline editor to create a function).
In the Configure section, provide the following configuration details:
Setting Value Service name d3-banking-logs-collectorRegion Select region matching your GCS bucket (for example, us-central1)Runtime Select Python 3.12 or later In the Trigger (optional) section:
- Click + Add trigger.
- Select Cloud Pub/Sub.
- In Select a Cloud Pub/Sub topic, choose the topic
d3-banking-logs-trigger. - Click Save.
In the Authentication section:
- Select Require authentication.
- Check Identity and Access Management (IAM).
Scroll down and expand Containers, Networking, Security.
Go to the Security tab:
- Service account: Select the service account
d3-banking-logs-collector-sa.
- Service account: Select the service account
Go to the Containers tab:
- Click Variables & Secrets.
- Click + Add variable for each environment variable:

Click Create.
Wait for the service to be created (1-2 minutes).
After the service is created, the inline code editor will open automatically.
Add function code
- Enter main in the Entry point field.
In the inline code editor, create two files:
First file - main.py:

Schedule frequency options
Choose frequency based on log volume and latency requirements:
| Frequency | Cron Expression | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Every 5 minutes | */5 * * * * |
High-volume, low-latency |
| Every 15 minutes | */15 * * * * |
Medium volume |
| Every hour | 0 * * * * |
Standard (recommended) |
| Every 6 hours | 0 */6 * * * |
Low volume, batch processing |
| Daily | 0 0 * * * |

Verify the function executed successfully. Look for:
Fetching logs from YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00 to YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00 Page 1: Retrieved X events Wrote X records to gs://d3-banking-audit-logs/d3banking/logs_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.ndjson Successfully processed X recordsGo to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
Click on your bucket name (
d3-banking-audit-logs).Navigate to the
d3banking/folder.Verify that a new
.ndjsonfile was created with the current timestamp.
If you see errors in the logs:
- HTTP 401: Check OAuth2 credentials in environment variables
- HTTP 403: Verify account has required administrator permissions in D3 Banking admin portal
- HTTP 429: Rate limiting - function will automatically retry with backoff
- Missing environment variables: Check all required variables are set

- Replace:
Source deletion option: Select the deletion option according to your preference:
- Never: Never deletes any files after transfers (recommended for testing).
- Delete transferred files: Deletes files after successful transfer.
Delete transferred files and empty directories: Deletes files and empty directories after successful transfer.

Asset namespace: The asset namespace
Ingestion labels: The label to be applied to the events from this feed
Click Next.
Review your new feed configuration in the Finalize screen, and then click Submit.
Grant IAM permissions to the Google SecOps service account
The Google SecOps service account needs Storage Object Viewer role on your GCS bucket.
