Full Traceability for Event Subscriptions

Keymate logs every subscription creation, update, and deletion action—capturing actor identity, resource context, policy bindings, and downstream impacts. Gain visibility, auditability, and accountability over your entire event-driven infrastructure.

Who Subscribed to What, When, and Why—Fully Logged.

Transparent, Auditable, Event Subscription Management

Subscription-based access control isn't complete without traceability. Keymate ensures that every change to an event subscription is: Authenticated (Who performed the action). Contextualized (What resource or topic is affected). Policy-linked (What access policy or scope it ties to). Timestamped (When and under what session it occurred). Auditable (Correlated with trace/session IDs). Attributed (Including impersonation or delegated roles if applicable). These logs integrate seamlessly with broader IAM audit logs and observability pipelines (e.g., SigNoz, SIEMs, Kafka consumers).

Audit Logging for Subscription Events

What Makes It Unique

Immutable Audit Trail for Events

Central logging of all create/update/delete actions for subscriptions

Actor-Centric Logging

Tracks initiating user, delegated role (if any), and tenant context

Policy Change Detection

Logs include associated policy or scope definitions if changed

Multi-Tenant Isolation

Each tenant's subscription logs are segregated and scoped

Session-Linked Traceability

Every action is tied to a session ID and optionally a trace ID

PII-Aware Log Structuring

Logs avoid sensitive data exposure while retaining accountability

SIEM/Analytics Ready Format

JSON structure suitable for Kafka pipelines, Splunk, Elastic, etc.

Optional Event Retention Rules

Subscription logs can have distinct TTLs and export configurations

Yes. Both the acting role and real user ID are recorded with session context.
Yes. Via Admin Console or audit API, scoped to their tenant/org/unit.
Yes. Diff of before/after is recorded if the access scope or policy is modified.
Configurable per tenant—can be exported, rotated, or retained in secure storage.

How to Use This Feature

Follow these steps to enable comprehensive subscription audit logging.

Implementation Steps

Define log sinks: Kafka, SigNoz, Elastic, S3, etc.

3

Use pre-built dashboards to visualize subscription change activity

4

Filter logs by tenant, topic, actor, or date to investigate changes

5

Correlate with access decision streams to verify subscription effect

6

Optionally define alert rules for unexpected changes (e.g., mass deletion)
