Dear Community,
I'd like to bring up for discussion the host field in audit logs, which
currently shows
the storage port (e.g., 192.168.1.100:7000) instead of the native port
users expect to see.
Background:
- Original implementation[1] used storage port for consistency with other
subsystems
- CASSANDRA-7544[2] enabled multiple instances per IP, making storage
port the
standard differentiator
- This creates confusion for users reviewing client audit logs who expect
to see the
native port (i.e 9042)
Arguments:
- Keep storage port: Consistent with gossip/repair/logs, maintains
existing behavior
- Switch to native port: More intuitive for audit log analysis, matches
user expectations
Considerations:
1. Should audit logs prioritize consistency with internal systems or user
intuition?
2. Would this change break existing tooling?
3. Should the change only land in trunk, or backport to all branches up
to 4.0?
Looking for input from the community.
Best,
- Francisco
