stefan setyadi commented on CASSANDRA-12151:
--------------------------------------------

okay so first of all, my initial use case was for the audit log to be reviewed 
and used to detect intrusion. At first I was thinking of logging the queries so 
it could be used to detect malicious insert/read.

I admit now that in hindsight, I didn't have a clear idea of how big the scale 
of the operations were. You're probably right and we shouldn't log every 
insert/read query.
I agree it is still useful to know any meta-changes but currently I have no 
clear picture of how the audit log will be used.
+1 on the user login idea and the byteman.

> we would like a way to enable cassandra to log database activity being done 
> on our server.
> It should show username, remote address, timestamp, action type, keyspace, 
> column family, and the query statement.
> it should also be able to log connection attempt and changes to the 
> user/roles.
> I was thinking of making a new keyspace and insert an entry for every 
> activity that occurs.
> Then It would be possible to query for specific activity or a query targeting 
> a specific keyspace and column family.
