+# Audit Stream Plugin
+
+:::enterprise
+:::
+
+This plugin streams **Rundeck audit events** to external systems via secure, configurable webhooks. It's useful for sending specific event logs to tools like **Datadog**, **New Relic**, **Sumo Logic**, or custom endpoints.
+
+---
+
+## What It Does
+
+- Sends audit events as JSON via HTTP POST requests
+- Supports authentication methods required by major observability providers
+- Offers advanced filtering to control which events are sent
+- Can enrich payloads with contextual metadata (user, resource, request)
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Rundeck version **4.17.0 or higher**
+- An external system that can receive and process HTTP webhooks
+- HTTPS endpoint access from the Rundeck server
+
+---
+
+## Supported Authentication Methods
+
+| Type        | Description                                                       |
+|-------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `NONE`      | No authentication headers                                         |
+| `BEARER`    | Adds `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header                       |
+| `AZURE_SAS` | Sends a custom header (e.g. `x-functions-key`) with a token       |
+| `AWS_SIGV4` | Signs the request with AWS Signature V4 credentials               |
+
+---
+
+## Configuration Guide
+
+Access these properties via the System Configuration menu under Plugins → Audit Stream.
+
+### AWS API Gateway Example
+
+```properties
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.webhookUrl=https://api-id.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/prod/webhook
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.securityType=AWS_SIGV4
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.awsRegion=us-west-2
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.awsService=execute-api
+```
+- Optional: If you haven’t configured credentials in Rundeck’s Key Storage, you can set them here:
+
+```properties
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.awsAccessKey=<your-access-key>
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.awsSecretKey=<your-secret-key>
+```
+
+### Azure Function Example
+
+
+```properties
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.webhookUrl=https://<your-function-app>.azurewebsites.net/api/rundeckwebhook
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.securityType=AZURE_SAS
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.azureSasToken=<your-function-key>
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.azureHeaderName=x-functions-key
+```
+
+### Bearer Token Example
+
+
+```properties
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.webhookUrl=https://api.example.com/secure-audit
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.securityType=BEARER
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.authToken=<your-bearer-token>
+```
+### Custom Headers Example (Datadog, New Relic, etc.)
+
+#### Datadog:
+
+```properties
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.webhookUrl=https://api.datadoghq.com/api/v2/events
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.securityType=NONE
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.customHeaders=DD-API-KEY:your_api_key,DD-APPLICATION-KEY:your_app_key,Accept:application/json
+```
+
+
+#### New Relic:
+
+```properties
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.webhookUrl=https://insights-collector.newrelic.com/v1/accounts/YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID/events
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.securityType=NONE
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.customHeaders=X-Insert-Key:your_insert_key      //This key must have type: INGEST - LICENSE
+```
+> Ensure your insert key is of type INGEST – LICENSE
+
+
+
+#### No Authentication:
+
+```properties
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.webhookUrl=https://internal.example.com/webhook
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.securityType=NONE
+```
+
+
+### Event Filtering
+
+You can filter which audit events are sent by listing specific actionType values:
+
+```properties
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.includedEvents=run,create,login_success
+```
+
+#### Common `actionType` Values
+
+| Type            | Meaning                          |
+|-----------------|----------------------------------|
+| `run`           | Job or command executed          |
+| `create`        | Job or resource created          |
+| `update`        | Resource updated (e.g. job, ACL) |
+| `delete`        | Resource deleted                 |
+| `login_success` | User logged in                   |
+| `login_failed`  | Failed login attempt             |
+| `logout`        | User logged out                  |
+| `view`          | Resource viewed                  |
+
+---
+### Timeout
+
+You can configure the HTTP connection timeout (in seconds). The default is 30:
+
+```properties
+framework.plugin.AuditEventListener.WebhookAuditListener.timeout=20
+```
+
+## JSON Payload Format Sent to Webhook Endpoints
+
+The following are example JSON payloads sent by the plugin, formatted based on the destination provider (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, etc). These payloads can be used to test or validate integration.
+
+### Default (e.g. Azure, AWS, or custom)
+```json
+{
+  "timestamp": "2025-03-03T22:27:48.281Z",
+  "actionType": "CREATE",
+  "userInfo": {
+    "username": "admin",
+    "userRoles": ["admin", "user"]
+  },
+  "resourceInfo": {
+    "type": "job",
+    "name": "backup-database"
+  },
+  "requestInfo": {
+    "serverUUID": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
+    "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0..."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Datadog API v1
+```json
+{
+  "title": "Rundeck Audit Event: login_success",
+  "text": "{\"timestamp\":1746726668522,\"actionType\":\"login_success\",\"userInfo\":{\"username\":\"admin\",\"userRoles\":[\"admin\",\"user\"]},\"resourceInfo\":{\"type\":\"user\",\"name\":\"admin\"},\"requestInfo\":{\"serverUUID\":\"abc123\",\"userAgent\":\"Mozilla/5.0\"}}",
+  "alert_type": "info",
+  "tags": ["rundeck", "action:login_success"]
+}
+```
+
+### Datadog API v2
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "type": "event",
+    "attributes": {
+      "title": "Rundeck Audit Event: login_success",
+      "text": "{\"timestamp\":1746726668522,\"actionType\":\"login_success\",\"userInfo\":{\"username\":\"admin\",\"userRoles\":[\"admin\",\"user\"]},\"resourceInfo\":{\"type\":\"user\",\"name\":\"admin\"},\"requestInfo\":{\"serverUUID\":\"abc123\",\"userAgent\":\"Mozilla/5.0\"}}",
+      "alert_type": "info",
+      "tags": ["rundeck", "action:login_success"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### New Relic
+```json
+{
+  "eventType": "RundeckAuditStreamPlugin",
+  "timestamp": 1746726668522,
+  "actionType": "login_success",
+  "userInfo.username": "admin",
+  "userInfo.userRoles": ["admin", "user"],
+  "resourceInfo.type": "user",
+  "resourceInfo.name": "admin",
+  "requestInfo.serverUUID": "abc123",
+  "requestInfo.userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0"
+}
+```
+
+
+## Troubleshooting Tips
+
+- Check that your webhook endpoint is reachable from the Rundeck host.
+- If using AWS SIGV4, make sure the IAM role or access keys have permissions.

+# 5.13.0 Release Notes
+
+## Overview
+
+
+::: danger Important Security Update
+
+:::
+A security vulnerability was identified and patched in the Enterprise Runner component where certain password patterns containing regex special characters (particularly multiple '+' characters) could bypass the password masking mechanism, potentially exposing sensitive information in error logs. This issue affected Enterprise Runner versions used with Process Automation 4.14.0 through 5.12.0, but did not impact Open Source Rundeck or the Process Automation server itself. The vulnerability has been remediated in version 5.13.0, which includes fixes in both the server and runner components to prevent exposure of secrets containing regex special characters. *Process Automation Self Hosted customers should upgrade both their server and all Enterprise Runners* to version 5.13.0 or later for complete remediation.  Process Automation SaaS servers are already updated, customers should proceed directly to upgrading all their Enterprise Runners.

+
+### Job Metrics
+The Job Metrics plugin provides comprehensive visualization and analysis of your Rundeck job execution patterns, success rates, and timing trends through an intuitive dashboard interface.

+
+### Webhook Audit Listener
+
