Write action log to support technical audits

Open fwaibel opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

As a system administrator I'd like to know what happened on a stackable 'managed' node.

An action log containing the relevant actions performed by the agent could help maintaining a comprehensible state of the nodes.

  • downloaded version x.y.z of software abc
  • extracted software abc version x.y.z into folder foo
  • applied default security configuration
  • started node as part of a cluster ...
  • downloaded security patch x.y.z+1 of software abc
  • removed node from running cluster
  • stopped node
  • started rolling update of node 3 of cluster
  • added node to running cluster
  • rolling update finished successfully ...
  • download new major version x+1.0.0 of software abc
  • applied configuration migration
  • started stop-the-world cluster update ...

idea: if we enforce criteria for our log levels we could say "filter the log for [INFO] messages and this will be the equivalent of an action log"
