Hi ! 

 

I’m trying to ingest workday audit logs according to the google supported guide:

https://docs.cloud.google.com/chronicle/docs/ingestion/default-parsers/workday-audit#create_pubsub_topic

 

However, when I get up to step 2 in “Configure Workday Custom Report”, I am unable to find data source “Audit Trail - Business Process”, I have full access and license isn’t an issue. Is this an outdated data source name? If so, whats the new name / method for collecting these logs?

 

Also the guide notes storing WD_USER and WD_PASS into the container, is there another way for this to be complete ? Basic Auth would not be the best method in my opinion.

 

Thanks

 

Finn

It may be that some security permissions need to be added on the Workday side.  Or ensure you have selected Advanced as the report type. Many specialized audit data sources do not appear if the type is set to "Simple."  And it could be that Workday has changed the name on their side.  Have you checked with Workday support?
