Vinay Chella commented on CASSANDRA-14498:
------------------------------------------
Thanks for reviewing the patch [~eperott]
{quote}There is one corner case that I'm not able to cover properly though;
that is having audit logs on all keyspaces.
{quote}
You could have an empty {{excluded_keyspaces}} in yaml without mentioning any
keyspaces.
e.g.,
{code:java}
excluded_keyspaces: ""
{code}
{quote}Also, most out of curiosity, what's the reasoning for adding
system_virtual_schema to the default exclude-list?
{quote}
{{system_virtual_schema}} was introduced as part of CASSANDRA-7622, these
column families tend to get queries from tools which are often at high
frequency and generates a lot of audit messages from internal tools. However,
if an operator decides to audit this keyspace they can do that from
{{cassandra.yaml}} file
Let me know if this does not satisfy your requirements.

> Audit logs does not include statements on the "system" and "system_schema"
> keyspace.
> It may be a common use case to whitelist queries on these keyspaces, but
> Cassandra should not make assumptions. Users who don't want these statements
> in their audit log are still able to whitelist them with configuration.
