The Get Audit Trail Client collects audit trails from different parts of the bit repository, i.e. audit trails information from pillars, clients, bus, alarms. These audit trails must therefore be secured either on individual initiative or by a dedicated client. The approach described here is that audit trails are ensured by letting pillars and clients secure copies on other pillars according to a Log-SLA. Especially the integrity client is important here.

...


The audit trail service is a Reference services which will be part of the reference implementation (other possible implementations are described on Different Audit Trails solutions).

The audit trail service has the responsibilities of:

  • Collecting audit trail from contributors on a regular basis.
  • Exposing the collected audit trails. This includes providing filtering functionality.
  • Securing audit trails for long term storage in a dedicated Special Audit trails Bit Repository Collection, which only contain audit trail information for a file bit repository collection.

This means that Audit Trails clients in most cases can be siplified to just ask this audit trails service for the requested audit trails. Furthermore all ensurance of audit trails are placed as part of the service.

The Audit trail contributors are all the pillars in a collection.
