Audit logging in Cassandra logs every incoming CQL command request, Authentication (successful as well as unsuccessful) to C* node. Currently, there are two implementations provided, the custom logger can be implemented and injected with the class name as a parameter in cassandra.yaml.
Unauthorized attempts to create, drop or alter users or data should be a concern.
None
Allows logging to filesystem log files using logback or to a Cassandra table. When you turn on audit logging, the default is to write to logback filesystem log files. You can verify auditing is turned on:
cat cassandra.yaml | grep -Al "audit_logging_options"
If enabled is set to true, then success. Anything else is a finding.
Open the cassandra.yaml file in a text editor
In the audit_logging_options section, set enabled to true.
# Audit logging options
audit_logging_options:
