public sealed class RequestMetadata : IMessage<RequestMetadata>, IEquatable<RequestMetadata>, IDeepCloneable<RequestMetadata>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Audit API class RequestMetadata.
The IP address of the caller.
For a caller from the internet, this will be the public IPv4 or IPv6
address. For calls made from inside Google's internal production network
from one GCP service to another, caller_ip will be redacted to "private".
For a caller from a Compute Engine VM with a external IP address,
caller_ip will be the VM's external IP address. For a caller from a
Compute Engine VM without a external IP address, if the VM is in the same
organization (or project) as the accessed resource, caller_ip will be the
VM's internal IPv4 address, otherwise caller_ip will be redacted to
"gce-internal-ip". See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/vpc/ for more
information.
The network of the caller.
Set only if the network host project is part of the same GCP organization
(or project) as the accessed resource.
See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/vpc/ for more information.
This is a scheme-less URI full resource name. For example:
public AttributeContext.Types.Peer DestinationAttributes { get; set; }
The destination of a network activity, such as accepting a TCP connection.
In a multi hop network activity, the destination represents the receiver of
the last hop. Only two fields are used in this message, Peer.port and
Peer.ip. These fields are optionally populated by those services utilizing
the IAM condition feature.
public AttributeContext.Types.Request RequestAttributes { get; set; }
Request attributes used in IAM condition evaluation. This field contains
request attributes like request time and access levels associated with
the request.
To get the whole view of the attributes used in IAM
condition evaluation, the user must also look into
AuditLog.authentication_info.resource_attributes.
