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:

	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 HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables
Auditing of cluster administration		Not applicable	Not applicable	Not applicable
Auditing of directories, files, and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database tables	Not applicable

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.
