Abstract:
1. A system for managing access to a cloud-based logging service through a network security gateway appliance comprising: one or more processors; a communication interface device; one or more internal data storage devices operatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing: a cloud-based logging service settings module configured to make the cloud-based logging service accessible to an administrator of the network security gateway appliance via an interface of the network security gateway appliance by integrating and customizing the cloud-based logging service within the network security gateway appliance, the integrating and customizing 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 from the administrator, 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 the administrator 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 to the administrator.
