Set the static Audit.Core.Configuration.DataProvider property to set the Dynamo DB data provider, or call the UseDynamoDB
method on the fluent configuration. This should be done before any AuditScope creation, i.e. during application startup.
You can provide the table name setting as a string or as a function of the Audit Event.
Note that you need to provide the table builder action to define the table schema, which must include the hash key and optionally a range key.
Provider Options
Client: The DynamoDB client AmazonDynamoDBClient. (required)
TableNameBuilder: A function of the audit event that returns the Table Name to use. (required)
TableBuilderAction: A function that receives a TableBuilder to define the table schema. This is used to define the hash key and optionally a range key. (required)
CustomAttributes: A dictionary with additional fields to be included in the document and as custom fields on the audit event. (optional)
Fluent API Methods
The provider options can be set with a fluent API described by the following methods:
Connection level
WithClient(): Uses the provided AmazonDynamoDBClient instance.
UseConfig(): Configures the DynamoDB client using the specified AmazonDynamoDBConfig, with optional credentials.
UseUrl(): Sets up the DynamoDB client using only the service URL, with optional credentials.
Table level
Table(): To specify the table name (as a string or a function of the audit event) and table configuration.
Attributes level
SetAttribute(): To specify additional top-level attributes on the document before saving.
Query events
This provider implements GetEvent and GetEventAsync methods to obtain an audit event by id:
var event = dynamoDataProvider.GetEvent((Primitive)1234);
The eventId parameter on the generic GetEvent(object eventId) must be of type Primitive,
DynamoDBEntry or an array of any of these two types.
The first (or only) element must be the Hash key, and the second element should be the range key (or NULL if not using a range).
There are more convenient overloads of the GetEvent/GetEventAsync methods that accepts the Primitives without needing to cast the parameters:
// Get event with the given HASH and RANGE
var event = dynamoDataProvider.GetEvent("A001-005283", 2018);
// Get event with the given HASH
var event = dynamoDataProvider.GetEvent("A001-005283");
Constraints
This provider has the following constraints:
The table to store the audit events must exists on DynamoDB.
Its indexes must consist of top-level properties of the audit event.
(Note you can add properties to the AuditEvent as Custom Fields with the SetAttribute() method on the provider configuration)
The following is an example of a table creation using the AWSSDK.DynamoDBv2 library:
var config = new AmazonDynamoDBConfig() { ServiceURL = "http://localhost:8000" };
var client = new AmazonDynamoDBClient(config);
await client.CreateTableAsync(new CreateTableRequest()
{
TableName = "MyTable",
KeySchema = new List<KeySchemaElement>()
{
new KeySchemaElement("Id", KeyType.HASH),
new KeySchemaElement("Type", KeyType.RANGE)
},
AttributeDefinitions = new List<AttributeDefinition>()
{
new AttributeDefinition("Id", ScalarAttributeType.S),
new AttributeDefinition("Type", ScalarAttributeType.S)
},
ProvisionedThroughput = new ProvisionedThroughput(1, 1)
});
In this case, the primary key is defined as a Hash and a Range key, with Id being the hash, and Type being the range.
Both must be top-level properties of the Audit Event,
but since the Id is not a built-in property, you can configure it as a [Custom Field](https://github.com/thepirat000/Audit.NET#custom-fields-and-comments]:
