Authenticating a user to access a data intake and query system

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for authenticating a user to use one or more components of a data intake and query system. The data intake and query system enables the generation or searching of events that include raw machine data associated with a timestamp. The data intake and query system receives a request for access via an application programming interface (API). Based on the request, the data intake and query system authenticates the user. The data intake and query system can receive a second request via the API for a component of the data intake and query system. Based on a determination that the user is authenticated, the data intake and query system can communicate the request to the component.
