--- title: Sumo Logic API Integration on Truto slug: sumologic category: Default canonical: "https://truto.one/integrations/detail/sumologic/" --- # Sumo Logic API Integration on Truto **Category:** Default **Status:** Generally available ## Unified APIs ### Unified User Directory API - **Roles** — The Role object represents a role of a User. - **Users** — The User object represents a User. ## How it works 1. **Link your customer's Sumo Logic account.** Use Truto's frontend SDK; we handle every OAuth and API key flow so you don't need to create the OAuth app. 2. **Authentication is automatic.** Truto refreshes tokens, stores credentials securely, and injects them into every API request. 3. **Call Truto's API to reach Sumo Logic.** The Proxy API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the Sumo Logic API. 4. **Get a unified response format.** Every response uses a single shape, with cursor-based pagination and data in the `result` field. ## Use cases - **Automate Sumo Logic license optimization with user directory sync** — SaaS Management Platforms can pull user and role data from their customers' Sumo Logic accounts to identify inactive users, downgrade roles, or deactivate seats — helping customers reclaim expensive license costs tied to per-user pricing. - **Provision and deprovision Sumo Logic users from your identity platform** — Identity governance and HR platforms can auto-create Sumo Logic user accounts when employees are hired and revoke access when they leave, ensuring consistent role-based access control across the customer's security toolchain. - **Sync role-based access policies across observability tools** — IT operations platforms can read and manage Sumo Logic roles to enforce consistent access policies, ensuring that only authorized personnel have capabilities like running search jobs or managing collectors across all connected tools. - **Audit Sumo Logic user access for compliance reporting** — GRC and compliance platforms can enumerate all Sumo Logic users and their assigned roles to generate access review reports for SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI audits without requiring customers to manually export user lists. ## What you can build - **Automated user lifecycle management for Sumo Logic** — Provision new Sumo Logic user accounts and assign roles automatically when employees join, and deactivate them on offboarding — all triggered from your platform's workflow engine. - **Sumo Logic seat usage dashboard** — Display a real-time view of all Sumo Logic users and their roles so IT admins can spot over-provisioned accounts and optimize license spend directly from your product. - **Cross-platform role consistency checker** — Compare Sumo Logic roles against your customer's identity provider roles to flag mismatches and enforce least-privilege access across their observability stack. - **Bulk role reassignment workflows** — Let customers select multiple Sumo Logic users and reassign them to different roles in bulk — ideal for org restructures or team migrations. - **Inactive user detection and auto-deprovisioning** — Identify Sumo Logic users who haven't been active and automatically downgrade their role or disable their account to reclaim license capacity. ## FAQs ### What authentication method does Sumo Logic use? Sumo Logic's REST API supports HTTP Basic Authentication using an Access ID and Access Key generated from the user's account. Truto handles storing and managing these credentials securely on behalf of your end users. ### How does Truto handle Sumo Logic's regional API deployments? Sumo Logic operates across multiple geographic deployments (e.g., us1, us2, eu, au, jp), each with a different API base URL. Truto manages dynamic URL routing so your integration works seamlessly regardless of which region your end user's account is hosted in. ### What Sumo Logic data is available through Truto's Unified User Directory API? The Unified User Directory API maps to Sumo Logic's User and Role endpoints. You can read and manage users (including email, name, and status) and their associated roles and capabilities. ### Are there additional Sumo Logic API capabilities beyond the Unified User Directory? Yes. Sumo Logic exposes rich APIs for search jobs, collectors, monitors, metrics, and organization management. Truto can build custom tools for these endpoints on request — reach out to discuss your specific use case. ### Does Sumo Logic impose API rate limits? Yes, Sumo Logic enforces rate limits on its API endpoints, which vary by endpoint and account tier. Truto handles retry logic and pagination so your integration gracefully manages rate limiting without additional effort on your side. ### Can I use Truto to write data back to Sumo Logic, or is it read-only? The Unified User Directory API supports both read and write operations for users and roles, enabling provisioning, role assignment, and deactivation workflows — not just read-only syncing.
