Collect Swimlane Platform logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest Swimlane Platform logs to Google Security Operations using Google Cloud Storage. Swimlane Platform is a security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platform that provides audit logging capabilities for tracking user activities, configuration changes, and system events across accounts and tenants.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Google SecOps instance
  • A GCP project with Cloud Storage API enabled
  • Permissions to create and manage GCS buckets
  • Permissions to manage IAM policies on GCS buckets
  • Permissions to create Cloud Run services, Pub/Sub topics, and Cloud Scheduler jobs
  • Privileged access to Swimlane Platform with Account Admin permissions to access audit logs
  • Swimlane Platform instance URL and account credentials

Collect Swimlane Platform credentials

Get Swimlane Platform instance URL

  1. Sign in to your Swimlane Platforminstance.
  2. Note your instance URL from the browser address bar.
    • Format: https://<region>.swimlane.app (for example, https://us.swimlane.app or https://eu.swimlane.app )
    • Example: If you access Swimlane at https://us.swimlane.app/workspace , your base URL is https://us.swimlane.app

Create Personal Access Token

  1. Sign in to the Swimlane Platformas an Account Admin.
  2. Go to Profile Options.
  3. Click Profileto open the profile editor.
  4. Navigate to the Personal Access Tokensection.
  5. Click Generate tokento create a new Personal Access Token.
  6. Copy the token immediately and store it securely (it won't be shown again).

Contact your Swimlane administrator if you don't know your Account ID. The Account ID is required for the Audit Log API path.

Record the following details for the integration:

  • Personal Access Token (PAT): Used in the Private-Token header for API calls.
  • Account ID: Required for the Audit Log API path /api/public/audit/account/{ACCOUNT_ID}/auditlogs .
  • Base URL: Your Swimlane domain (for example, https://eu.swimlane.app , https://us.swimlane.app ).

Verify permissions

To verify your account has the required permissions to access audit logs:

  1. Sign in to Swimlane Platform.
  2. Confirm you have Account Admin access.
  3. Contact your Swimlane administrator if you cannot access audit log features.

Test API access

  • Before proceeding with the integration, verify your API credentials work correctly:

      # Replace with your actual credentials 
     SWIMLANE_BASE_URL 
     = 
     "https://<region>.swimlane.app" 
     SWIMLANE_ACCOUNT_ID 
     = 
     "<your-account-id>" 
     SWIMLANE_PAT_TOKEN 
     = 
     "<your-personal-access-token>" 
     # Test API access 
    curl  
    -v  
    -X  
    GET  
     " 
     ${ 
     SWIMLANE_BASE_URL 
     } 
     /api/public/audit/account/ 
     ${ 
     SWIMLANE_ACCOUNT_ID 
     } 
     /auditlogs?pageNumber=1&pageSize=10" 
      
     \ 
      
    -H  
     "Private-Token: 
     ${ 
     SWIMLANE_PAT_TOKEN 
     } 
     " 
      
     \ 
      
    -H  
     "Accept: application/json" 
     
    

Expected response: HTTP 200 with JSON containing audit logs.

If you receive errors:

  • HTTP 401: Verify your Personal Access Token is correct
  • HTTP 403: Verify your account has Account Admin permissions
  • HTTP 404: Verify the Account ID and base URL are correct

Create Google Cloud Storage bucket

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console .
  2. Select your project or create a new one.
  3. In the navigation menu, go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  4. Click Create bucket.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:

    Location Select the location (for example, us-central1 )
    Storage class Standard (recommended for frequently accessed logs)
    Access control Uniform (recommended)
    Protection tools Optional: Enable object versioning or retention policy
  6. Click Create.

The Cloud Run function needs a service account with permissions to write to GCS bucket and be invoked by Pub/Sub.

  1. In the GCP Console, go to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.
  2. Click Create Service Account.
  3. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Service account name: Enter swimlane-audit-collector-sa .

Create Cloud Scheduler job

Cloud scheduler publishes messages to the Pub/Sub topic at regular intervals, triggering the Cloud Run function.

  1. In the GCP Console, go to Cloud Scheduler.
  2. Click Create Job.
  3. Provide the following configuration details:

    Setting Value
    Name swimlane-audit-schedule-15min
    Region Select same region as Cloud Run function
    Frequency */15 * * * * (every 15 minutes)
    Timezone Select timezone (UTC recommended)
    Target type Pub/Sub
    Topic Select the Pub/Sub topic ( swimlane-audit-trigger )
    Message body {} (empty JSON object)
  4. Click Create.

Schedule frequency options

  • Choose frequency based on log volume and latency requirements:

    Frequency Cron Expression Use Case
    Every 5 minutes
    */5 * * * * High-volume, low-latency
    Every 15 minutes
    */15 * * * * Standard (recommended)
    Every hour
    0 * * * * Medium volume
    Every 6 hours
    0 */6 * * * Low volume, batch processing
    Daily
    0 0 * * * Historical data collection

Test the integration

  1. In the Cloud Schedulerconsole, find your job.
  2. Click Force runto trigger the job manually.
  3. Wait a few seconds.
  4. Go to Cloud Run > Services.
  5. Click on your function name ( swimlane-audit-collector ).
  6. Click the Logstab.
  7. Verify the function executed successfully. Look for the following:

     Fetching logs from YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00 to YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00
    Page 1: Retrieved X events
    Wrote X records to gs://bucket-name/swimlane/audit/YYYY/MM/DD/swimlane-audit-UUID.json.gz
    Successfully processed X records 
    
  8. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.

  9. Click your bucket name.

  10. Navigate to the prefix folder ( swimlane/audit/ ).

  11. Verify that a new .json.gz file was created with the current timestamp.

If you see errors in the logs:

  • HTTP 401: Check SWIMLANE_PAT_TOKEN in environment variables and verify the Personal Access Token is correct
  • HTTP 403: Verify account has Account Admin permissions to access audit logs
  • HTTP 400: Verify SWIMLANE_ACCOUNT_ID is correct and query parameters are valid
  • HTTP 404: Verify SWIMLANE_BASE_URL and API endpoint path are correct
  • HTTP 429: Rate limiting - function will automatically retry with backoff
  • Missing environment variables: Check all required variables are set (GCS_BUCKET, SWIMLANE_BASE_URL, SWIMLANE_PAT_TOKEN, SWIMLANE_ACCOUNT_ID)
  • Connection errors: Verify network connectivity to Swimlane Platform and firewall rules
  • 10,000 log limit warning: Reduce LOOKBACK_HOURS or increase Cloud Scheduler frequency to stay within Swimlane's API limit
