Activity log in Identity Resilience

The Rubrik Identity Resilience provides a comprehensive, immutable, and actionable audit log of all changes within an Identity Provider, such as Active Directory.

The activity log feature in Identity Resilience provides detailed chronological logs of actions performed by identities, including pre- and post-change values. RSC supports logging activities only for Active Directory (AD) Identity Provider (IdP).

Immutable audit logs

The audit log feature delivers a comprehensive, chronological audit log that details all actions on AD objects. It detects real-time changes and provides details of the events, including the actor who performed the action, the time the action took place, and after values of the change. This rich context addresses the gap in native event logs, which often miss the specific settings and modified values.

Actor identification

RSC monitors and logs changes made to critical AD objects using its own monitoring capabilities. However, to identify the actor responsible for detected actions, you must enable Windows activity logging. While correlating the actor, RSC displays the actor as Identifying. After detecting the actor, RSC displays the actor details who performed the action. When RSC cannot identify the actor, it displays the actor as Unidentified. The actor identification is attempted for 24 hours before concluding that the actor cannot be identified.

Note:

For attribute modifications such as lastlogontimestamp performed by AD, RSC displays the actor as System.

Support matrix for activity log

The following table lists the support matrix for different types of objects, IdPs, and whether objects support actor identification. Object	IdP	Activity logging	Actor identification
User	AD	Supported	Supported
Group	AD	Supported	Supported
Service account	AD	Supported	Supported
GPO	AD	Supported	Not supported

Activity types

RSC monitors and logs the following activity types: Activity type	Description
Creation	Records the addition of a new object to the AD. Supported objects are Users, Groups, and Computers.
Deletion	Records the removal of an existing object from the AD.
Attribute Change	Tracks a change to properties of an object, such as display name, phone number, or manager.
Membership Change	Monitors modifications to the membership of an object in a group or Organizational Unit (OU).
ACL Change	Monitors a modification to the Access Control List (ACL) of an object, altering which identities have access to it and their level of permission.
GPO Settings Change	Audits a change to the settings within a GPO or a change to where that GPO is linked.

Note:

RSC does not track sign-in and authentication events.
