Log record generation and storage based on associated principals

Abstract:

A computing device includes an interface configured to interface and communicate with a dispersed storage network (DSN), a memory that stores operational instructions, and processing circuitry operably coupled to the interface and to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to execute the operational instructions to perform various operations and functions. The computing device receives (e.g., via the DSN and from a first other computing device) a storage request that is based on data object. The computing device extracts a remote address (associated with the first other computing device) from the storage request. The computing device processes the storage request to determine whether any principals are associated with the storage request, wherein the principals include DSN system entities. The computing device performs selective operations based on a determination that the principals are associated with the storage request or another determination that the principals are not associated with the storage request.
