Audit Log

Storing Audit Log

• Goal: Read AuditLog messages from Kafka and write messages to Table dataset.
  • Reusing the MetadataConsumer flowlet from the Navigator App to handle reading messages from Kafka
    • Beacuse of this, the app requires a Kafka config in order to be installed

      • Code Block
        { "config": { "metadataKafkaConfig": { "brokerString": "<host>:<port>", "topic" : "audit" } } }

  • New Flowlet (AuditLogPublisher) for writing Kafka messages to Dataset
    • Dataset is a Table class
    • Dataset key format: <namespace>-<type>-<name>-<messageTimeLong>
    • Dataset Columns: 
      • timestamp - Long - timestamp of the message generated
      • entityId - EntityId - the entity id that the message refers to. Only entity types with a namespace are supported.
      • user - String - the name of the user that generated the message. If the user blank, a default value of "unknown" is inserted.
      • actionType - String - The type of action that was taken. For more details, see: Audit information publishing
      • entityKind - String - The EntityType from the id, lowercase
      • entityName - String - The name of the Entity
      • metadata - AuditPayload - The change that was made, either a metadata change or an access. For all other types, the payload is empty
