Monitoring and evidence

Roost reports its own health, exports every record to your monitoring systems, and produces the evidence auditors ask for, signed.

Export

Syslog over TLS or RELP and SNMPv3 traps carry every audit event with the actor, the correlation id and the audit record id, so a line in your SIEM ties back to a sealed record. The actor id is the same one your login and approval records use. See Audit-log export for the fields.

Risk score

Each key and each client, agents included, has a risk score from its behaviour: sudden bursts, attempts without approval, long-unused keys suddenly used. A high score raises an alert before a rule is tripped.
