Interface AuditContext

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    DefaultAuditContext

    public interface AuditContext
    AuditContext is the central location where all aspects of serializing and sending out Audit messages are defined. This includes
    • whether auditing is enabled at all
    • the transmission protocol (UDP, TLS, ...)
    • the queue implementation (synchronous, asynchronous, ...
    • the serialization strategy (e.g. which DICOM audit version shall be used)
    • global parameters like source ID, enterprise ID

    • Method Detail

      • isAuditEnabled

        boolean isAuditEnabled()
        Returns:
        true if auditing is enabled, false otherwise
      • setAuditEnabled

        @Deprecated(forRemoval=true)
        void setAuditEnabled​(boolean auditEnabled)
        Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
        Parameters:
        auditEnabled - enable or disable auditing
      • getAuditRepositoryHostName

        String getAuditRepositoryHostName()
        Returns:
        hostname of the audit repository
      • getAuditRepositoryAddress

        InetAddress getAuditRepositoryAddress()
        Returns:
        address of the audit repository
      • getAuditRepositoryPort

        int getAuditRepositoryPort()
        Returns:
        port of the audit repository
      • getSendingApplication

        String getSendingApplication()
        Returns:
        sending application
      • getAuditTransmissionProtocol

        AuditTransmissionProtocol getAuditTransmissionProtocol()
        Returns:
        the wire protocol to be used
      • getAuditMessageQueue

        AuditMessageQueue getAuditMessageQueue()
        Returns:
        the queue implementation to be used
      • getTlsParameters

        TlsParameters getTlsParameters()
        Returns:
        the SSL socket factory to be used for TLS-based connections
      • getAuditMessagePostProcessor

        default AuditMessagePostProcessor getAuditMessagePostProcessor()
        Returns:
        a post-processor for audit messages (defaults to a NO-OP implementation
      • getSerializationStrategy

        default SerializationStrategy getSerializationStrategy()
        Returns:
        the serialization strategy (defaults to the latest relevant DICOM version)
      • audit

        default void audit​(AuditMessage... messages)
        Sends out the (potentially post-processed) audit messages as configured in this audit context
        Parameters:
        messages - audit messages to be sent
      • getAuditValueIfMissing

        default String getAuditValueIfMissing()
        Returns a value that is used when an otherwise mandatory attribute for an audit record in missing (e.g. a participant object ID). In this case, we can still write an audit record (e.g. documenting a failed request due to the missing attribute).

        This can also be set to null at the risk that building the audit record might throw an exception.

        Returns:
        a value that is used when an otherwise mandatory attribute for an audit record in missing
      • getAuditSourceId

        String getAuditSourceId()
        Returns:
        Source ID attribute of the audit event
      • getAuditEnterpriseSiteId

        String getAuditEnterpriseSiteId()
        Returns:
        Enterprise site ID attribute of the audit event
      • getAuditSource

        AuditSource getAuditSource()
        Returns:
        type of audit source
      • isIncludeParticipantsFromResponse

        boolean isIncludeParticipantsFromResponse()
        Determines whether participant object records shall be added to the audit message that are derived from the response of a request. This specifically applies to query results. The DICOM audit specification states that this should not be the case, however, project and legal requirements sometimes mandate that e.g. patient identifiers being retrieved shall be audited.
        Returns:
        true if participant object records shall be added, otherwise false
