Hrishikesh Gadre commented on SOLR-12120:
-----------------------------------------
[~janhoy] Thanks for this great feature!
{quote}can you have a look and consider whether your Audit logger plugin would
be possible to realise with this API?
{quote}
I took a cursory look and we should be integrate this with the Sentry
authorization framework. I will do a more thorough review next couple of days
and will let you know.
{quote}I made it asynchronous so you can call
{{auditLoggerPlugin.auditAsync(event);}} and continue the request immediately,
while the audit framework processes the events on queue with a background
thread. Very simple but powerful concept.
{quote}
While I get the value of async processing, I am not sure why the audit logging
plugin needs to expose this concept. This can be implemented inside the
concrete implementation of AuditLoggerPlugin (e.g. log4j does support [async
appender|https://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/AsyncAppender.html]).
My concern is that HttpSolrCall.java is using this method directly. This makes
async behavior is mandatory for all (?) audit logging implementations. What do
you think?

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public)

> Solr needs a well defined plugin point to implement audit logging
> functionality, which is independent from whatever {{AuthenticationPlugin}} or
> {{AuthorizationPlugin}} are in use at the time.
> It seems reasonable to introduce a new plugin type {{AuditLoggerPlugin}}. It
> could be configured in solr.xml or it could be a third type of plugin defined
> in {{security.json}}, i.e.
> {code:java}
> {
> "authentication" : { "class" : ... },
> "authorization" : { "class" : ... },
> "auditlogging" : { "class" : "x.y.MyAuditLogger", ... }
> }
> {code}
> We could then instrument SolrDispatchFilter to the audit plugin with an
> AuditEvent at important points such as successful authentication:
> {code:java}
> auditLoggerPlugin.audit(new SolrAuditEvent(EventType.AUTHENTICATED,
> request));
> {code}
> We will mark the impl as {{@lucene.experimental}} in the first release to
> let it settle as people write their own plugin implementations.
