Prerequisites for Auditing

Enabling auditing of filesystem and table operations requires running a command on a cluster, a command on individual volumes in the cluster, and a command on individual directories, files, and MapR-DB tables within those volumes.

These steps are summarized in the following table:

	Steps to enable auditing
	Enable auditing of cluster administration	Enable data auditing on the cluster	Enable auditing of individual volumes	Enable auditing of individual directories, files, and MapR-DB tables
Auditing of cluster administration		Not applicable	Not applicable	Not applicable
Auditing of directories, files, and MapR-DB tables	Not applicable

Prerequisites for enabling auditing

• If you upgraded your MapR cluster from version 4.1 or earlier, you must enable the auditing feature. Run this command: maprcli config save -values {"mfs.feature.audit.support":"1"} To verify that the feature is enabled, run this command: maprcli config load -json | grep "mfs.feature.audit.support"
• Only the root user or the mapr user can enable or disable auditing.
