Stream audit logs to Pulsar

You can stream Astra DB Classic audit logs to your Pulsar instance:

In your Pulsar instance, create a topic.
In the Astra Portal, create an application token with the Organization Administrator role.
Get your organization ID from any Astra Portal URL, such as astra.datastax.com/org/ORGANIZATION_ID/.
To enable audit log streaming to your Pulsar instance, send a POST request to the DevOps API Audit Log Telemetry endpoint:
```
curl -sS --location -X POST "https://api.astra.datastax.com/v2/organizations/ORG_ID/telemetry/auditLogs" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "pulsar": {
    "endpoint": "BROKER_SERVICE_URL",
    "auth_strategy": "AUTH_TYPE",
    "topic": "PULSAR_TOPIC",
    "auth_name": "PULSAR_AUTH_NAME",
    "token": "PULSAR_TOKEN"
  }
}'
```
Replace the following:
- ORG_ID: Your Astra DB organization ID.
- APPLICATION_TOKEN: Your Astra DB application token.
- BROKER_SERVICE_URL: Your Pulsar Broker URL prefixed by pulsar+, such as pulsar+ssl://pulsar.example.com.
- AUTH_TYPE: The Pulsar authentication strategy, either token or oauth2.
  - For token, include the auth_name and token parameters with your Pulsar credentials.
  - For oauth2, include the oauth2_credentials_url and oauth2_issuer_url parameters with your Pulsar OAuth2 credentials and issuer URLs. Optionally, you can provide oauth_audience and oauth2_scope. For more information, see Authentication using OAuth 2.0 access tokens.
- PULSAR_TOPIC: The Pulsar topic where you want to publish metrics, such as persistent://test/default/audit-log-topic.
Response
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted

To retrieve and review the audit log streaming configuration, send a GET request:

curl -sS --location -X GET "https://api.astra.datastax.com/v2/organizations/ORG_ID/telemetry/auditLogs" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"

Response

{
  "pulsar": {
    "endpoint": "pulsar+ssl://pulsar.example.com",
    "topic": "persistent://test/default/audit-log",
    "auth_strategy": "token",
    "token": "********",
    "auth_name": "token"
  }
}

Monitor your Pulsar instance to confirm that log streaming occurs according to your topic configuration.

To delete an audit log streaming configuration, you can send a DELETE request.

You can also configure audit log streaming with Astra Streaming.
