HDFS Namenode Audit Design and Implemention

Hadoop Namenode can audit any operations, including “rename,open,delete,listStatus,create,setPermission,getfileinfo,mkdirs”.

Hadoop Namenode can audit any operations. Hadoop self contained audit plugin will audit any operation on any file and directory, and it can cause a large amount of
useless infomation and downgrade the efficiency of namenode.

This plugin can audit specified directory and command. Only operation on these directory(include subdirectory) and command will be audited.
For example, if you want to audit who read a hive table, you can set the table base as audit directory. This strategy can greatly reduce the size of audit log.

Terminology: *   Audit directory:  The directory you want to be audited, the operation on the directory and subdirectory will be audited. *  Audit Commands:  The commands you want to audit. Must in "rename,open,delete,listStatus,create,setPermission,getfileinfo,mkdirs", separated by ','.

## Configuration
* ${HADOOP_HOME}/log4j.properties

Modify the following content.


hdfs.audit.logger=INFO,NullAppender
hdfs.audit.log.maxfilesize=256MB
hdfs.audit.log.maxbackupindex=20


to

hdfs.audit.logger=INFO,consolehdfs.audit.log.maxfilesize=256MBhdfs.audit.log.maxbackupindex=20

• ${HADOOP_HOME}/hadoop-env.sh

  Modify the following content.

    export HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS="${JVM_OPTS} -Dhadoop.security.logger=${HADOOP_SECURITY_LOGGER:-WARN,RFAS} -Dhdfs.audit.logger=${HDFS_AUDIT_LOGGER:-INFO,NullAppender} -Xloggc:$HADOOP_LOG_DIR/nn_gc.log $HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS"

to

    export HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS="${JVM_OPTS} -Dhadoop.security.logger=${HADOOP_SECURITY_LOGGER:-WARN,RFAS} -Dhdfs.audit.logger=${HDFS_AUDIT_LOGGER:-INFO,RFAAUDIT} -Xloggc:$HADOOP_LOG_DIR/nn_gc.log $HADOOP_NAMENODE_OPTS"

• hdfs-site.xml
  Add the following configuration options.

  <property>    <name>dfs.namenode.audit.loggers</name>    <value>org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.namenode.NameNodeAuditLogger</value>  </property>  <property>    <name>dfs.namenode.audit.file</name>    <value>/usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop/auditfile.xml</value>    <description>The file name in which user can set which directory to audit, and the command to audit</description>  </property>    <property>    <name>dfs.namenode.audit.file.check.interval</name>    <value>10000</value>    <description>This time decides the interval to check whech the auditfile has been modified.       The modification time of file must be changed. The unit of this configuration is millisecond. </description>  </property>

• Copy baidu-hadoop-xbu-2.7.2.jar to ${HADOOP_HOME}/share/hadoop/hdfs/ directory.

• Create auditfile.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>   <audit-config>     <audit-directory>       <path>hdfs://localhost:8020/user/houzhizhen</path>       <commands>rename,open,delete,listStatus,create,setPermission,getfileinfo,mkdirs</commands>     </audit-directory>     <audit-directory>       <path>hdfs://localhost:8020/user/hefuhua</path>       <commands>rename,open,delete,listStatus,create,setPermission,getfileinfo,mkdirs</commands>     </audit-directory>      <audit-directory>       <path>hdfs://yq-ns2/user/hefuhua</path>       <commands>rename,open,delete,listStatus,create,setPermission,getfileinfo,mkdirs</commands>     </audit-directory>   </audit-config> 

You can set any number of audit-directory. Only the path starts with ${fs.defaultFS} will be processed by this namenode.  You can change the file at any time, it will take effect in ${dfs.namenode.audit.file.check.interval} millisecond.

• Rolling restart the namenode. Check the active namenode whether hdfs-audit.log is generated and the audit function works well.
