<h1>Audit log</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<h2><a id="intro">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>
A number of the libvirt virtualization drivers (QEMU/KVM and LXC) include
support for logging details of important operations to the host's audit
subsystem. This provides administrators / auditors with a canonical historical
record of changes to virtual machines' / containers' lifecycle states and
their configuration. On hosts which are running the Linux audit daemon,
the logs will usually end up in <code>/var/log/audit/audit.log</code>
</p>
<h2><a id="config">Configuration</a></h2>
<p>
The libvirt audit integration is enabled by default on any host which has
the Linux audit subsystem active, and disabled otherwise. It is possible
to alter this behaviour in the <code>/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf</code>
configuration file, via the <code>audit_level</code> parameter
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>audit_level=0</code> - libvirt auditing is disabled regardless
of host audit subsystem enablement.</li>
<li><code>audit_level=1</code> - libvirt auditing is enabled if the host
audit subsystem is enabled, otherwise it is disabled. This is the
default behaviour.</li>
<li><code>audit_level=2</code> - libvirt auditing is enabled regardless
of host audit subsystem enablement. If the host audit subsystem is
disabled, then libvirtd will refuse to complete startup and exit with
an error.</li>
</ul>
<p>
In addition to have formal messages sent to the audit subsystem it is
possible to tell libvirt to inject messages into its own logging
layer. This will result in messages ending up in the systemd journal
or <code>/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log</code> on non-systemd hosts.
This is disabled by default, but can be requested by setting the
<code>audit_logging=1</code> configuration parameter in the same file
mentioned above.
</p>
<h2><a id="types">Message types</a></h2>
<p>
Libvirt defines three core audit message types each of which will
be described below. There are a number of common fields that will
be reported for all message types.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>pid</code></dt>
<dd>Process ID of the libvirtd daemon generating the audit record.</dd>
<dt><code>uid</code></dt>
<dd>User ID of the libvirtd daemon process generating the audit record.</dd>

Audit log
=========
.. contents::
Introduction
------------
A number of the libvirt virtualization drivers (QEMU/KVM and LXC)
include support for logging details of important operations to the
host's audit subsystem. This provides administrators / auditors with a
canonical historical record of changes to virtual machines' /
containers' lifecycle states and their configuration. On hosts which are
running the Linux audit daemon, the logs will usually end up in
``/var/log/audit/audit.log``
Configuration
-------------
The libvirt audit integration is enabled by default on any host which
has the Linux audit subsystem active, and disabled otherwise. It is
possible to alter this behaviour in the ``/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf``
configuration file, via the ``audit_level`` parameter
- ``audit_level=0`` - libvirt auditing is disabled regardless of host
audit subsystem enablement.
- ``audit_level=1`` - libvirt auditing is enabled if the host audit
subsystem is enabled, otherwise it is disabled. This is the default
behaviour.
- ``audit_level=2`` - libvirt auditing is enabled regardless of host
audit subsystem enablement. If the host audit subsystem is disabled,
then libvirtd will refuse to complete startup and exit with an error.
In addition to have formal messages sent to the audit subsystem it is
possible to tell libvirt to inject messages into its own logging layer.
This will result in messages ending up in the systemd journal or
``/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log`` on non-systemd hosts. This is disabled
by default, but can be requested by setting the ``audit_logging=1``
configuration parameter in the same file mentioned above.
Message types

described below. There are a number of common fields that will be
reported for all message types.
