Firestore audit logging information

Firestore audit logging information

This document describes audit logging for Firestore. Google Cloud services generate audit logs that record administrative and access activities within your Google Cloud resources. For more information about Cloud Audit Logs, see the following:

• Types of audit logs
• Audit log entry structure
• Storing and routing audit logs
• Cloud Logging pricing summary
• Enable Data Access audit logs

Notes

When configuring audit logging, use the service name datastore.googleapis.com to configure both datastore.googleapis.com and firestore.googleapis.com.Once configured, logs for the Firestore API include the the service name firestore.googleapis.com.

To view the time it took to process a DATA_READ or DATA_WRITE request, see the processing_duration field within the metadata object of an AuditLog. processing_duration describes the time the database took to actually process a request. This is smaller than the end-user latency. In particular, it does not include network overhead.

For Listenrequests, processing_duration is only present on the Audit Log for the initial result set returned. Its absent from subsequent Audit Logs for that same Listen target.

Individual writes from import, bulk delete operations and TTL are not audit logged.

Service name

Firestore audit logs use the service name firestore.googleapis.com. Filter for this service:

    protoPayload.serviceName="firestore.googleapis.com"
  

Methods by permission type

Firestore also includes the following operations as part of the Key Visualizer diagnostic tool. These are Data Access audit logs and have the service name firestorekeyvisualizer.googleapis.com. They are enabled by turning on DATA_READ for the firestore.googleapis.com service.

• google.cloud.keyvisualizer.KeyVisualizer.GetScan
• google.cloud.keyvisualizer.KeyVisualizer.ListScans

Each IAM permission has a type property, whose value is an enum that can be one of four values: ADMIN_READ, ADMIN_WRITE, DATA_READ, or DATA_WRITE. When you call a method, Firestore generates an audit log whose category is dependent on the type property of the permission required to perform the method. Methods that require an IAM permission with the type property value of DATA_READ, DATA_WRITE, or ADMIN_READ generate Data Access audit logs. Methods that require an IAM permission with the type property value of ADMIN_WRITE generate Admin Activity audit logs.

API methods in the following list that are marked with (LRO) are long-running operations (LROs). These methods usually generate two audit log entries: one when the operation starts and another when it ends. For more information see Audit logs for long-running operations.

Note:

Listen is a long-lived RPC that combines multiple streaming targets. Each target is a query or a set of document keys. The stream for each target includes an initial result set and a sequence of updates, additions, and removals to the result set. The targets are the relevant audit unit. Firestore audits each target as follows:

• When the target is added, emit a log entry with the targets query or document key set. In these entries, operation.first is true. This audit log is omitted when the stream is a resumption of an earlier Listen target stream.
• Emit periodic updates reporting the count of updates since the last audit log for this target.
• Emit a log entry when the target is removed from the stream, either explicitly or due to the termination for the Listen RPC. This log entry reports the count of updates since the last audit log for this target. In these entries, operation.last is true.
• The emitted log entries use the same operation.id.

Identify request callers

Audit Log entries include information about the identity that performed the logged operation. To identify a request caller, see the following fields within an AuditLog object:

• The caller's identity is held in the AuthenticationInfo field. This can include the principalEmail of the user. This information is sometimes redacted.

  If a JSON Web Token (JWT) was used for third-party authentication, the thirdPartyPrincipal field includes the token's header and payload. For example, audit logs for requests authenticated with Firebase Authentication include that request's auth token.

• The callerIp field within the requestMetadata object of an AuditLog entry includes the IP address of the caller.
