This change:
- Set liveness::LiveUpdate for audit_categories, audit_tables,
and audit_keyspaces
- Keep const reference to db::config in audit, so current config values
can be obtained by audit implementation
- Implement function audit::update_config to parse given string, update
audit datastructures when needed, and log the changes.
- Add observers to call audit::update_config when categories,
tables, or keyspaces configuration changes
Fixesscylladb/scylla-enterprise#1789
This change introduces a new audit subsystem that allows tracking and logging of database operations for security and compliance purposes. Key features include:
- Configurable audit logging to either syslog or a dedicated system table (audit.audit_log)
- Selective auditing based on:
- Operation categories (QUERY, DML, DDL, DCL, AUTH, ADMIN)
- Specific keyspaces
- Specific tables
- New configuration options:
- audit: Controls audit destination (none/syslog/table)
- audit_categories: Comma-separated list of operation categories to audit
- audit_tables: Specific tables to audit
- audit_keyspaces: Specific keyspaces to audit
- audit_unix_socket_path: Path for syslog socket
- audit_syslog_write_buffer_size: Buffer size for syslog writes
The audit logs capture details including:
- Operation timestamp
- Node and client IP addresses
- Operation category and query
- Username
- Success/failure status
- Affected keyspace and table names
