Collect WP Engine logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest WP Engine logs to Google Security Operations using Google Cloud Storage V2.

WP Engine is a managed WordPress hosting platform that provides enterprise-grade hosting with built-in security, performance optimization, and CDN services. It generates access logs, error logs, and CDN event logs that can be collected via the WP Engine API.

Before you begin

Make sure 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 the WP Engine User Portal with API access permissions
  • A WP Engine account with API access enabled

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:

    Setting Value
    Name your bucket Enter a globally unique name (for example, wpengine-logs )
    Location type Choose based on your needs (Region, Dual-region, Multi-region)
    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.

Collect WP Engine API credentials

Generate API credentials

  1. Sign in to the WP Engine User Portal .
  2. Click your profile name, then go to Profile > API Access.
  3. Click Generate Credentials.
  4. Copy and save the following details in a secure location:

    • API Username: The generated API username
    • API Password: The generated API password (shown only once)

Get install name

  1. Sign in to the WP Engine User Portal .
  2. Go to Sitesin the navigation menu.
  3. Click on the site you want to collect logs from.
  4. Note the Install namedisplayed on the site overview page. Each environment (Production, Staging, Development) has a separate install name.

Test API access

  • Test your credentials before proceeding with the integration:

      # Replace with your actual credentials 
     WPE_USER 
     = 
     "your-api-username" 
     WPE_PASSWORD 
     = 
     "your-api-password" 
     # Test API access - list installs 
    curl  
    -v  
    -u  
     " 
     ${ 
     WPE_USER 
     } 
     : 
     ${ 
     WPE_PASSWORD 
     } 
     " 
      
     "https://api.wpengineapi.com/v1/installs" 
     
    

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 wpengine-logs-collector-sa
    • Service account description: Enter Service account for Cloud Run function to collect WP Engine logs
  4. Click Create and Continue.
  5. In the Grant this service account access to projectsection, add the following roles:
    1. Click Select a role.
    2. Search for and select Storage Object Admin.
    3. Click + Add another role.
    4. Search for and select Cloud Run Invoker.
    5. Click + Add another role.
    6. Search for and select Cloud Functions Invoker.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. Click Done.

These roles are required for:

  • Storage Object Admin: Write logs to GCS bucket and manage state files
  • Cloud Run Invoker: Allow Pub/Sub to invoke the function
  • Cloud Functions Invoker: Allow function invocation

Grant IAM permissions on GCS bucket

Grant the service account write permissions on the GCS bucket:

  1. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  2. Click on your bucket name (for example, wpengine-logs ).
  3. Go to the Permissionstab.
  4. Click Grant access.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Add principals: Enter the service account email (for example, wpengine-logs-collector-sa@PROJECT_ID.iam.gserviceaccount.com )
    • Assign roles: Select Storage Object Admin
  6. Click Save.

Create Pub/Sub topic

Create a Pub/Sub topic that Cloud Scheduler will publish to and the Cloud Run function will subscribe to.

Create Cloud Scheduler job

Cloud Scheduler will publish 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 wpengine-logs-collector-hourly
    Region Select same region as Cloud Run function
    Frequency 0 * * * * (every hour, on the hour)
    Timezone Select timezone (UTC recommended)
    Target type Pub/Sub
    Topic Select the topic wpengine-logs-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 * * * * Medium volume
Every hour
0 * * * * Standard (recommended)
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 wpengine-logs-collector .
  6. Click the Logstab.
  7. Verify the function executed successfully. Look for:

     Fetching logs for install: myinstall
    Page 1: Retrieved X access events
    Fetched X access log records
    Page 1: Retrieved X error events
    Fetched X error log records
    Wrote X records to gs://wpengine-logs/wpengine/logs_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.ndjson
    Successfully processed X records 
    
  8. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.

  9. Click on your bucket name ( wpengine-logs ).

  10. Navigate to the wpengine/ folder.

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

If you see errors in the logs:

  • HTTP 401: Check API credentials in environment variables
  • HTTP 403: Verify API access is enabled in WP Engine User Portal
  • HTTP 429: Rate limiting - function will automatically retry with backoff
  • Missing environment variables: Check all required variables are set
