Monitor Suspicious Activity in Your Go Application

Detecting and responding to suspicious activity is a vital aspect of maintaining the security and integrity of your Go application. Monitoring for signs of unauthorized access, abnormal behavior, or potential security breaches helps protect sensitive user data and ensures a safe user experience.

Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless monitoring for suspicious activity in your Go application. By integrating Saashound directly into your application, you can effortlessly track suspicious events in real-time and receive immediate alerts when suspicious activity is detected.

Connecting Saashound to Your Go Application

To begin monitoring suspicious activity in your Go application using Saashound, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign up for a free Saashound account to start tracking your application’s events.
2. Create your first project from the user-friendly dashboard.
3. Access the settings and securely copy your unique API token.

Go Integration

Integrating Saashound into your Go application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking suspicious activity. Remember to replace API_TOKEN with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.

package main

import (
  "bytes"
  "encoding/json"
  "fmt"
  "net/http"
)

func logEvent() {
  apiURL := "https://api.saashound.co/log-event"
  payload := map[string]interface{}{
    "project":     "my-project",
    "channel":     "security-logs",
    "event":       "Suspicious Activity Detected",
    "description": "Suspicious activity detected from IP address 123.456.789.0.",
    "icon":        "🚨",
    "notify":      true
  }

  payloadBytes, err := json.Marshal(payload)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error marshaling payload:", err)
    return
  }

  req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", apiURL, bytes.NewReader(payloadBytes))
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error creating request:", err)
    return
  }

  req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
  req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer API_TOKEN")

  client := http.DefaultClient
  resp, err := client.Do(req)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("Error sending request:", err)
    return
  }
  defer resp.Body.Close()

  if resp.StatusCode >= 200 && resp.StatusCode < 300 {
    fmt.Println("Log event sent successfully!")
  } else {
    fmt.Println("Failed to send log event. Response code:", resp.StatusCode)
  }
}

func main() {
  logEvent()
}
