What it is and what it does
This package is a Python client library for Google Cloud Audit Log, part of the broader google-cloud-python ecosystem. It wraps protocol buffer definitions for audit events, allowing developers to work with Cloud Logging audit data in Python code. The library requires Python 3.10 or later and depends on protobuf and googleapis-common-protos to handle message serialization and common Google API types.
The package is intended for developers integrating with Google Cloud Logging to read, process, or analyze audit events. It is maintained as part of Google's official cloud client libraries and receives regular updates. Installation is straightforward via pip, and the library integrates with Python's standard logging module for debugging and monitoring. Authentication is handled through Google Cloud's standard credential mechanisms.
Use it for
- Parse and work with audit event messages received from Google Cloud Logging in Python applications.
- Build monitoring or compliance tools that consume Cloud Audit Log data programmatically.
- Integrate audit log processing into data pipelines or ETL workflows on Google Cloud.
- Access audit event schemas and protobuf definitions for serialization or validation tasks.
