Usage

Please see the Audit.NET Readme

Configuration

Set the static Audit.Core.Configuration.DataProvider property to set the Elasticsearch data provider, or call the UseElasticsearch method on the fluent configuration. This should be done before any AuditScope creation, i.e. during application startup.

For example:

Audit.Core.Configuration.DataProvider = new ElasticsearchDataProvider()
{
    ConnectionSettings = new AuditConnectionSettings(new Uri("http://localhost:9200")),
    IndexBuilder = ev => ev.EventType,
    IdBuilder = ev => Guid.NewGuid()
};

Or by using the fluent configuration API:

Audit.Core.Configuration.Setup()
    .UseElasticsearch(config => config
        .ConnectionSettings(new Uri("http://localhost:9200"))
        .Index(auditEvent => auditEvent.EventType)
        .Id(ev => Guid.NewGuid()));

Note that you can provide the settings as a function of the Audit Event.

Provider Options

Mandatory:

• ConnectionSettings: The Elasticsearch connection settings. It is recommended to be an instance of AuditConnectionSettings.

Optional:

• Index: The Elasticsearch index name to use. Can be NULL to use the default index.
• Id: The id to use for the given audit event. Can be NULL to use an auto-generated id.

Query events

This provider implements GetEvent and GetEventAsync methods to obtain an audit event by id:

var event = elasDataProvider.GetEvent(new ElasticsearchAuditEventId() { Index = "myindex", Id = "myid" });
