             Summary: update ACL example not to use ALLOW-LOG for 'ACCESS' 
level manager operations in order to reduce extraneous logging
                 Key: QPID-4185
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4185
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java Broker
    Affects Versions: 0.16
            Reporter: Alex Rudyy
            Assignee: Alex Rudyy
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.19


The etc/broker_example.acl file currently contains an example of what users 
probably *dont* usually want to do with regards to logging ACL events for admin 
management users.

By using ALLOW-LOG or DENY-LOG for all of the rules, this will have the result 
of logging a lot of extraneous info to do with individual JMX calls to retrieve 
attributes, get mbeaninfo, perform instanceof checks etc. Just having 
managemetn consoles (our own, Jconsole, etc) will produce a lot of log spam as 
a result when they poll for new info.

What most users probably want typically is to allow 'read only' events by 
permissioning the 'ACCESS' operations using ALLOW and then seperately 
permission the others with ALLOW-LOG, thus removing the noise and ensuring only 
operations that can actually cause change are logged, e.g:

{noformat}
ACL ALLOW admin ACCESS METHOD
ACL ALLOW-LOG admin ALL METHOD
{noformat}
