Managing Auditing

Provides instructions for using data-fabric auditing features.

You can enable auditing of cluster administration and data-access operations using the Control System and the CLI. Enabling auditing of the filesystem, table, and streams operations requires running a command on a cluster, a command on individual volumes in the cluster, and a command on individual directories, files, and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables and streams within those volumes.

These steps are summarized in the following table:

Prerequisites for enabling auditing

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