If I can have an suggestion, we discus audit log and for our siem it
would be great format like:
user: user1 action: powered off vm: VM1.test.com host: ovirt.test.com
user: user1 action: logged in
user: user1 action: initiated console session VM: VM5.test.com
user: user1 action: changed network interface detail: secure_vlan to
insecure_vlan on vnic1 vm: testserver.test.com
I focused on modifications and used json for it looking like:
{ object='objectName'propertyName='name' oldValue='previousValue'
newValue='newValue'}
You could have multiple properties modified, removed and created. What do you think about
this format?
