This document provides instructions on viewing activity logs and getting them from Acunetix 360 into a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) system with API. Users with the necessary permissions can access all members' activity records.

How to get audit data from Acunetix 360 into a SIEM with API
The most effective way to transfer audit data from Incvicti Enterprise into your preferred SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) system is by utilizing the HTTP Event Collector (HEC).
The process involves three steps:
- Query the ‘/auditlogs/’ endpoint using your unique-built python script. This script will request the audit data from your Acunetix 360 account.
- Once you have received the response from the endpoint, you need to format it as a JSON file.
- Post the formatted JSON data to your Splunk SIEM via the HEC endpoint. An example HEC endpoint URL is ‘https://<splunk-server>:8088/services/collector/event’.
This will import the audit data into your SIEM, where it can be analyzed and used for security monitoring and incident response.
More information can be found on the official Splunk website.
