Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-12120:
------------------------------------

More questions:
 * Should we log internal requests, i.e. overseer actions, or requests stemming 
from auto-scaling triggers etc?
 * For distributed requests, should we log only on the first node, or on every 
replica that the request is distributed to?
 ** If only first node, how to reliably identify a request as being internal, 
preventing a way for end users to craft a request that looks like a distributed 
one and thus avoid being logged :)
 ** If the latter, i.e. on all nodes, what to use as the "search id" to be able 
to correlate the events from each replica as belonging to the same end-user 
search?

> Solr needs a well defined plugin point to implement audit logging 
> functionality, which is independent from whatever {{AuthenticationPlugin}} or 
> {{AuthorizationPlugin}} are in use at the time.
> It seems reasonable to introduce a new plugin type {{AuditLoggerPlugin}}. It 
> could be configured in solr.xml or it could be a third type of plugin defined 
> in {{security.json}}, i.e.
> {code:java}
> {
>   "authentication" : { "class" : ... },
>   "authorization" : { "class" : ... },
>   "auditlogging" : { "class" : "x.y.MyAuditLogger", ... }
> }
> {code}
> We could then instrument SolrDispatchFilter to the audit plugin with an 
> AuditEvent at important points such as successful authentication:
> {code:java}
> auditLoggerPlugin.audit(new SolrAuditEvent(EventType.AUTHENTICATED, 
> request)); 
> {code}
>  We will mark the impl as {{@lucene.experimental}} in the first release to 
> let it settle as people write their own plugin implementations.
