Collect D3 Banking logs

Supported in:

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

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Select your project or create a new one.
  3. In the navigation menu, go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  4. Click Create bucket.
  5. 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
  6. Click Create.

Collect D3 Banking API credentials

Obtain OAuth2 credentials

  1. Sign in to the D3 Banking (NCR Voyix) admin portal.
  2. Navigate to Administration > API Management (or Settings > Integrations).
  3. Click Register Application or Create API Client.
  4. Enter a name for the application (for example, Google Security Operations Integration).
  5. Note the following credentials:
    • Client ID: The OAuth2 client identifier
    • Client Secret: The OAuth2 client secret
  6. Note the API base URL for your tenant (for example, https://api.d3banking.com/v1 or 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

  1. In the GCP Console, go to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.
  2. Click Create Service Account.
  3. 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
  4. Click Create and Continue.
  5. In the Grant this service account access to project section, add the following roles:
    1. Click Select a role.
    2. Search for and select Storage Object Admin.
    3. Click + Add another role.
    4. Search for and select Cloud Run Invoker.
    5. Click + Add another role.
    6. Search for and select Cloud Functions Invoker.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. 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:

  1. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  2. Click on your bucket name (for example, d3-banking-audit-logs).
  3. Go to the Permissions tab.
  4. Click Grant access.
  5. 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
  6. 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.

  1. In the GCP Console, go to Pub/Sub > Topics.
  2. Click Create topic.
  3. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Topic ID: Enter d3-banking-logs-trigger
    • Leave other settings as default
  4. 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.

  1. In the GCP Console, go to Cloud Run.
  2. Click Create service.
  3. Select Function (use an inline editor to create a function).
  4. In the Configure section, provide the following configuration details:
