# Admin Operations Center (AOC) ## Project Overview AOC is a FastAPI microservice that ingests Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) audit logs, Intune audit logs, and Exchange/SharePoint/Teams admin audits (via the Office 365 Management Activity API) into MongoDB. It deduplicates events, enriches them with readable names from Microsoft Graph, and exposes a REST API plus a minimal web UI for searching, filtering, and reviewing events. ## Technology Stack - **Runtime**: Python 3.11 - **Web Framework**: FastAPI + Uvicorn - **Database**: MongoDB (PyMongo) - **Frontend**: Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS (served as static files from `backend/frontend/`) - **Authentication**: Optional OIDC Bearer token validation against Microsoft Entra (using `python-jose` and MSAL.js on the frontend) - **External APIs**: Microsoft Graph API, Office 365 Management Activity API - **Deployment**: Docker Compose ## Project Structure ``` backend/ main.py # FastAPI app, router registration, background periodic fetch config.py # Environment-based configuration (loads .env) database.py # MongoClient setup (db = micro_soc, collection = events) auth.py # OIDC Bearer token validation, JWKS caching, role/group checks requirements.txt # Python dependencies Dockerfile # python:3.11-slim image routes/ fetch.py # GET /api/fetch-audit-logs, run_fetch() events.py # GET /api/events, GET /api/filter-options config.py # GET /api/config/auth graph/ auth.py # Client credentials token acquisition for Graph audit_logs.py # Fetch and enrich directory audit logs from Graph resolve.py # Resolve directory object IDs to human-readable names sources/ unified_audit.py # Office 365 Management Activity API (Exchange/SharePoint/Teams) intune_audit.py # Intune audit events from Graph models/ event_model.py # normalize_event() — transforms raw events to stored schema mapping_loader.py # Loads mappings.yml (cached) with fallback defaults mappings.yml # User-editable category labels and summary templates maintenance.py # CLI for re-normalization and deduplication of stored events frontend/ index.html # Single-page UI with filters, pagination, raw-event modal style.css # Dark-themed stylesheet ``` ## Configuration Copy `.env.example` to `.env` at the repo root and fill in values: ```bash cp .env.example .env ``` Key variables: - `TENANT_ID`, `CLIENT_ID`, `CLIENT_SECRET` — Microsoft app registration credentials (application permissions) - `AUTH_ENABLED` — set `true` to protect API/UI with OIDC Bearer tokens - `AUTH_TENANT_ID`, `AUTH_CLIENT_ID` — token validation audience/issuer - `AUTH_ALLOWED_ROLES`, `AUTH_ALLOWED_GROUPS` — comma-separated access control lists - `ENABLE_PERIODIC_FETCH`, `FETCH_INTERVAL_MINUTES` — background ingestion scheduler - `MONGO_ROOT_USERNAME`, `MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD`, `MONGO_PORT` — used by Docker Compose for MongoDB ## Build and Run Commands **Docker Compose (recommended):** ```bash docker compose up --build ``` - API/UI: http://localhost:8000 - MongoDB: localhost:27017 **Local development (without Docker):** ```bash # 1) Start MongoDB docker run --rm -p 27017:27017 -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=root -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=example mongo:7 # 2) Run backend cd backend python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt export $(cat ../.env | xargs) uvicorn main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 ``` ## API Endpoints - `GET /api/fetch-audit-logs?hours=168` — pulls last N hours (capped at 720 / 30 days) from all sources, normalizes, dedupes, and upserts into MongoDB - `GET /api/events` — list stored events with filters (`service`, `actor`, `operation`, `result`, `start`, `end`, `search`) and pagination (`page`, `page_size`) - `GET /api/filter-options` — best-effort distinct values for UI dropdowns - `GET /api/config/auth` — auth configuration exposed to the frontend ## Code Conventions - Python modules use absolute imports within the `backend/` package (e.g., `from graph.auth import get_access_token`). When running locally, ensure the working directory is `backend/` so these resolve correctly. - No formal formatter or linter is configured. Keep changes consistent with the existing style: simple functions, explicit exception handling, and informative docstrings. - The frontend is a single HTML file with inline JavaScript. It relies on the MSAL.js CDN (`https://alcdn.msauth.net/browser/2.37.0/js/msal-browser.min.js`). ## Testing There are currently **no automated tests** in this repository. When adding new features or bug fixes, verify behavior manually: 1. Start the server (Docker Compose or local uvicorn). 2. Run a smoke test: ```bash curl http://localhost:8000/api/events curl http://localhost:8000/api/fetch-audit-logs ``` 3. Open http://localhost:8000 in a browser, apply filters, paginate, and click "View raw event". ## Security Considerations - **Secrets**: `CLIENT_SECRET` and other credentials come from `.env`. Never commit `.env`. - **Auth validation**: When `AUTH_ENABLED=true`, the backend fetches JWKS from `https://login.microsoftonline.com/{AUTH_TENANT_ID}/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration`, caches keys for 1 hour, and validates tenant/issuer claims. Tokens are decoded without strict signature verification (`jwt.get_unverified_claims`), so the tenant and issuer checks are the primary gate. - **Role/Group gating**: Access is allowed if the token’s `roles` intersect `AUTH_ALLOWED_ROLES` or `groups` intersect `AUTH_ALLOWED_GROUPS`. If neither list is configured, all authenticated users are allowed. - **Pagination limits**: `page_size` is clamped to a maximum of 500 to prevent large queries. - **Fetch window cap**: `hours` is clamped to 720 (30 days) to avoid runaway API calls. ## Maintenance and Operations The `backend/maintenance.py` script provides two CLI commands useful for backfilling or correcting stored data: ```bash # Re-run Graph enrichment + normalization on stored events docker compose run --rm backend python maintenance.py renormalize --limit 500 # Remove duplicate events based on dedupe_key docker compose run --rm backend python maintenance.py dedupe ``` Both commands operate directly against the MongoDB collection configured in `config.py`.
