Chapter 10. Viewing audit logs

OpenShift Container Platform auditing provides a security-relevant chronological set of records documenting the sequence of activities that have affected the system by individual users, administrators, or other components of the system.

10.1. About the API audit log

Audit works at the API server level, logging all requests coming to the server. Each audit log contains the following information:

Table 10.1. Audit log fields
Field	Description
`level`	The audit level at which the event was generated.
`auditID`	A unique audit ID, generated for each request.
`stage`	The stage of the request handling when this event instance was generated.
`requestURI`	The request URI as sent by the client to a server.
`verb`	The Kubernetes verb associated with the request. For non-resource requests, this is the lowercase HTTP method.
`user`	The authenticated user information.
`impersonatedUser`	Optional. The impersonated user information, if the request is impersonating another user.
`sourceIPs`	Optional. The source IPs, from where the request originated and any intermediate proxies.
`userAgent`	Optional. The user agent string reported by the client. Note that the user agent is provided by the client, and must not be trusted.
`objectRef`	Optional. The object reference this request is targeted at. This does not apply for `List`-type requests, or non-resource requests.
`responseStatus`	Optional. The response status, populated even when the `ResponseObject` is not a `Status` type. For successful responses, this will only include the code. For non-status type error responses, this will be auto-populated with the error message.
`requestObject`	Optional. The API object from the request, in JSON format. The `RequestObject` is recorded as is in the request (possibly re-encoded as JSON), prior to version conversion, defaulting, admission or merging. It is an external versioned object type, and might not be a valid object on its own. This is omitted for non-resource requests and is only logged at request level and higher.
`responseObject`	Optional. The API object returned in the response, in JSON format. The `ResponseObject` is recorded after conversion to the external type, and serialized as JSON. This is omitted for non-resource requests and is only logged at response level.
`requestReceivedTimestamp`	The time that the request reached the API server.
`stageTimestamp`	The time that the request reached the current audit stage.
`annotations`	Optional. An unstructured key value map stored with an audit event that may be set by plugins invoked in the request serving chain, including authentication, authorization and admission plugins. Note that these annotations are for the audit event, and do not correspond to the `metadata.annotations` of the submitted object. Keys should uniquely identify the informing component to avoid name collisions, for example `podsecuritypolicy.admission.k8s.io/policy`. Values should be short. Annotations are included in the metadata level.

The possible values for the authentication.openshift.io/decision annotation are allow, deny, or error.

10.3. Filtering audit logs

You can use jq or another JSON parsing tool to filter the API server audit logs.

Note

The amount of information logged to the API server audit logs is controlled by the audit log policy that is set.

The following procedure provides examples of using jq to filter audit logs on control plane node node-1.example.com. See the jq Manual for detailed information on using jq.

Prerequisites

You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.
You have installed jq.

Procedure

Filter OpenShift API server audit logs by user:

$ oc adm node-logs node-1.example.com  \
  --path=openshift-apiserver/audit.log \
  | jq 'select(.user.username == "myusername")'

Filter OpenShift API server audit logs by user agent:

$ oc adm node-logs node-1.example.com  \
  --path=openshift-apiserver/audit.log \
  | jq 'select(.userAgent == "cluster-version-operator/v0.0.0 (linux/amd64) kubernetes/$Format")'

Filter Kubernetes API server audit logs by a certain API version and only output the user agent:

$ oc adm node-logs node-1.example.com  \
  --path=kube-apiserver/audit.log \
  | jq 'select(.requestURI | startswith("/apis/apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1")) | .userAgent'

Filter OpenShift OAuth API server audit logs by excluding a verb:

$ oc adm node-logs node-1.example.com  \
  --path=oauth-apiserver/audit.log \
  | jq 'select(.verb != "get")'

Filter OpenShift OAuth server audit logs by events that identified a username and failed with an error:

$ oc adm node-logs node-1.example.com  \
  --path=oauth-server/audit.log \
  | jq 'select(.annotations["authentication.openshift.io/username"] != null and .annotations["authentication.openshift.io/decision"] == "error")'

10.4. Gathering audit logs

You can use the must-gather tool to collect the audit logs for debugging your cluster, which you can review or send to Red Hat Support.

Procedure

Run the oc adm must-gather command with -- /usr/bin/gather_audit_logs:
```
$ oc adm must-gather -- /usr/bin/gather_audit_logs
```
Create a compressed file from the must-gather directory that was just created in your working directory. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command:
```
$ tar cvaf must-gather.tar.gz must-gather.local.472290403699006248 1
```
1
Replace must-gather-local.472290403699006248 with the actual directory name.
Attach the compressed file to your support case on the the Customer Support page of the Red Hat Customer Portal.
