      Best Practices

      • DataBatch FormatLogging: EnsureFor high-volume environments, consider batching multiple connection events into single API calls to improve performance
      Error Handling: Implement retry logic for failed log submissions, especially for critical security events that must be recorded Data Retention: Plan for log data retention and archival strategies, as connection logs can accumulate quickly in active environments Sensitive Data: Avoid logging sensitive information like passwords or personal data in the datametadata parameterfields contains- validfocus JSON string with all requiredon connection and technical details Timestamp Accuracy: UseEnsure ISOtimestamps 8601are in UTC format and accurately reflect the actual connection time for timestamps to ensure proper chronological ordering Error Handling: Always check the response status and handle validation errors appropriately Rate Limiting: ImplementBe aware of potential rate limits and implement appropriate delaysqueuing betweenmechanisms requestsfor tohigh-frequency avoidlogging overwhelming the APIscenarios Data ValidationMonitoring: ValidateSet connectionup log data on the client side before sending to reduce API errors Retry Logic: Implement exponential backoffalerts for failed requests,log especiallysubmissions forto networkensure connectivityyour issuesaudit trail remains complete and reliable
