Auditing of Activity Related to Cluster Administration

The following types of operations are audited after the maprcli audit cluster command is run on a cluster:

All maprcli commands, REST calls, and actions in MCS that have effects at the cluster level, including those that enable auditing, are audited.
All authentications to MCS and authentications to MapR clusters via maprlogin are audited.

Audit records for these operations are recorded in the following audit logs:

Audit logs for operations related to cluster management and authentications to clusters via maprlogin

Every CLDB operation is logged in the local filesystem of the CLDB node that responded to the operation. The log file is /opt/mapr/logs/cldbaudit.log.json.

Audit logs for maprcli commands, REST API calls, and actions in MCS

Executions of maprcli commands, REST API calls, and actions in MCS are logged in the local filesystem on the nodes where they are executed. Log files are located at /opt/mapr/mapr-cli-audit-log/audit.log.json. To see what information is recorded in typical log entries, see Example Log Entries for Audited maprcli Command Executions, REST API Calls, and Actions in MCS.

The following maprcli commands, as well as their equivalent REST API calls and actions in MCS, are also logged in audit logs on the servers where they are processed.

acl	`acl edit, acl set, acl show`
audit	`audit cluster, audit data, audit info`
blacklist	`blacklist listusers, blacklist user`
cluster	`cluster mapreduce get, cluster mapreduce set`

Audit logs for authentications to MCS

Every attempt at authentication to MCS, whether successful or unsuccessful, is logged to the local filesystem in /opt/mapr/logs/authaudit.log.json on the webserver node where an attempt was made.
