-----------------------------------------------

             Summary: audit_logging_options parameters are not sanitized when 
loaded from a configuration file
                 Key: CASSANDRA-20208
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-20208
             Project: Apache Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Observability/Logging
            Reporter: Dmitry Konstantinov


based on the discussion in 
[https://lists.apache.org/thread/3whc30bqfcr1vgwv73zwlv74l2v3c0gt]

a configuration like this:
{code:java}
audit_logging_options:
  enabled: true
  logger:
    - class_name: FileAuditLogger
  included_categories: DCL, ERROR, AUTH {code}
is not sanitized when it is loaded on startup from cassandra.yaml file - spaces 
here are remaining: " ERROR", " AUTH" after parsing. As a result the audit logs 
filtering works not in a way as a user may expect and it is hard to 
troubleshoot.


When we run nodetool enableauditlog the following logic is invoked: 
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-4.1.7/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/service/StorageService.java#L6459
 which rebuild AuditLogOptions using builder API.AuditLogOption.build() has 
sanitisation logic which does the trimming: 
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/audit/AuditLogOptions.java#L235
 

org.apache.cassandra.config.Config#audit_logging_options is created a generic 
reflective code which does not use the builder, so there is no trimming during 
a startup.

It can be fixed by adding sanitisation during the startup parsing too to make 
the behaviour more consistent and less error prone.
