Auditing Cluster Operations

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

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

Executions of maprcli commands, REST API calls, and actions in the Control System 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 the Control System.

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

Command Family	Commands
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`
config	`config load, config save`
entity	`entity info, entity list, entity modify`
license	`license add, license addcrl, license apps, license list, license listcrl, license remove, license showid`

Audit logs for authentications to the Control System

Every attempt at authentication to the Control System, 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.

Audit logs for volume level tiering operations

All volume level tiering operations, whether successful or unsuccessful, are logged in the /opt/mapr/logs/cldbaudit.log.json file.
