Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for providing access to a cloud-based logging service to a user without requiring user registration. According to one embodiment, access to a cloud-based logging service is integrated within a network security gateway appliance by automatically configuring access settings for the logging service without registering the gateway appliance with the logging service. A traffic or event log is transparently created within the logging service by making use of the automatically configured access settings and treating the logging service as a logging device. A request is received, by the gateway appliance, from an administrator to access data associated with the log. Responsive to the request, the data from the logging service is transparently retrieved, by the gateway appliance, and presented to the administrator via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the gateway appliance.
