<h1>Audit log</h1>
|
|
|
|
<ul id="toc"></ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="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 name="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/libivrtd.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 name="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>pid</dt>
|
|
<dd>Process ID of the libvirtd daemon generating the audit record.</dd>
|
|
<dt>uid</dt>
|
|
<dd>User ID of the libvirtd daemon process generating the audit record.</dd>
|
|
<dt>subj</dt>
|
|
<dd>Security context of the libvirtd daemon process generating the audit record.</dd>
|
|
<dt>msg</dt>
|
|
<dd>String containing a list of key=value pairs specific to the type of audit record being reported.</dd>
|
|
</dl>

|
|

initially booted records will be generated for all assigned resources.

If any changes are made to the running guest configuration, for example
|
|
hotplug devices, or adjust resources allocation, further records will
|
|
be generated.
