Auditing Overview
Fabric has a robust Auditing mechanism that logs activities running in Fabric like logins, Web Service calls and Fabric commands.
Two major Auditing functionalities can be controlled:
- Filtering strategies, for full flexibility over the type of activities that are introduced to the Auditing mechanism, like reporting only Web Service calls. This flexibility does not impact the performance of other activities and saves a lot of disk space.
- Persistence strategies, defining the channel for reporting the activities logged by the Auditing mechanism, like Cassandra (default), Kafka, files, etc.
Auditing Reporting Structure
When an activity is logged by the Fabric Auditing mechanism it has the following structure:
| Name | Description | Example | | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- | | action | Type of activity performed in Fabric | LOGIN, GetCommand, called Web-Service name, etc. | | date | Activity date | 2020-11-05 | | user | Fabric User ID | admin, etc… | | written_at | Activity date and timestamp | 2020-11-05 11:49:14.452000+0000 | | address | IP address of the node where the activity is performed. In http/https protocol this appears as a concatenation of the IP address:port | 10.21.1.1 or 10.21.1.1:3213 | | params | Activity parameters | For a GetCommand [DC_NAME=null|LU_NAME=CRM|IID=1] | | protocol | Contains the protocol used for the activity, valid values, HTTP/1.1, HTTPS/1.3 or DRIVER or JDBC driver | DRIVER | | query | Activity details like a CQL query for a CQLCommand or a DESCRIBE SCHEMA CRM for a DescribeCommand | SELECT * FROM CRM.SUBSCRIBER | | result | Number of affected rows | Rows Affected: 3 | | session_id | Session ID | 73ae6592 |
Turning Auditing On/Off
By default, Auditing is set to OFF. To enable Auditing in Fabric, set AUDIT=ON in the config.ini file and then restart Fabric.
