Audit log telemetry
Audit log telemetry provides information on the health of your configured audit devices.
Default metrics
vault.audit.log_request_failure
| Metric type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| counter | number | Number of audit log request failures across all devices |
The number of request failures is a crucial metric.
A non-zero value for vault.audit.log_request_failure indicates that all your
configured audit devices failed to log a request (or response). If OpenBao cannot
properly audit a request, or the response to a request, the original request
will fail.
Refer to the OpenBao logs and any device-specific metrics to troubleshoot the failing audit log device.
vault.audit.log_request
| Metric type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| summary | ms | Time required to complete all audit log requests across all audit log devices |
vault.audit.log_response_failure
| Metric type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| counter | number | Number of audit log request failures across all devices |
The number of request failures is a crucial metric.
A non-zero value for vault.audit.log_response_failure indicates that one of
the configured audit log devices failed to respond to OpenBao. If OpenBao cannot
properly audit a request, or the response to a request, the original request
will fail.
Refer to the device-specific metrics and logs to troubleshoot the failing audit log device.
vault.audit.log_response
| Metric type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| summary | ms | Time required to complete audit log responses across all audit log devices |
Audit device metrics
Device-specific metrics for each enabled audit device. For example, if you
enable a file audit device, the related metrics are:
vault.audit.file.log_request and vault.audit.file.log_response.
vault.audit.{DEVICE}.log_request
| Metric type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| summary | ms | Time required to complete all audit log requests across the device |
vault.audit.{DEVICE}.log_response
| Metric type | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| summary | ms | Time required to complete all audit log responses across the device |
