Claim Text:
1. A system for managing access to a cloud-based logging service through a network security gateway appliance comprising: one or more mircoprocessors; and one or more internal data storage devices operatively coupled to the one or more microprocessors and storing: a cloud-based logging service settings module configured to make the cloud-based logging service accessible to the network security gateway appliance via an interface of the network security gateway appliance by integrating the cloud-based logging service within the network security gateway appliance, the integrating including creating an account within the cloud-based logging service by registering the network security gateway appliance itself as a user of the cloud-based logging service in order to allow the network security gateway appliance access to the cloud-based logging service; a cloud-based logging service access module configured to receive, via the interface, a request to access the cloud-based logging service, wherein the cloud-based logging service access module is further configured to analyze the request and retrieve logs from the cloud-based logging service for processing, wherein registration of the network security gateway appliance with the cloud-based logging service allows an administrator of the network security gateway appliance to access the cloud-based logging service via the interface without separately registering with the cloud-based logging service; and an output module configured to receive processed logs at the network security gateway appliance and output the processed logs by the output module.
