Throwing my hat in the ring for this as well. Preferably the message should include the UUID of the Group being changed, and also the UUID of the Instance if it¹s being applied.

Auditing has been discussed for the firewall extension. However, it is reasonable to expect some form of auditing for security group rules as well.

Typically a firewall produces copious logs. As far as I can tell, Neutron security groups permit or deny traffic but don't provide any record at all of what happened. Obviously iptables itself supports logging, but I haven't seen anything in https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/neutron/agent/linux/iptables_firewall.pythat looks like it adds logging rules. I'd be curious to know if this is just a case of no one having added it yet, or if there was any explicit decision to NOT support logging (either as a provider enforced standard, or as a tenant configurable per-rule setting.) ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev ___ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
