Globus Connect Server Audit Load

Name

globus-connect-server audit load - Load high assurance audit log files into a database

Synopsis

globus-connect-server audit load [OPTIONS]…

Description

The globus-connect-server audit load command loads into a database the audit log files generated by globus-gridftp-server. This database can then be used by the globus-connect-server audit query or globus-connect-server audit dump commands.

Important

You must have read access to the log files specified by the --log-dir option. This generally requires running this command via sudo in order to read the default log location.

Options

-h, --help: Show help message and exit.
--version: Show the version and exit.
-v, --verbose: Show verbose output.
-l, --log-dir PATH: Directory containing GridFTP audit logs to load. By default, logs from /var/log/gridftp-audit as well as the current day’s log at /var/log/gridftp-audit.log will be loaded.
-d, --db-path PATH: Path where the log database will be created. If there is an existing database, it will be removed. The default is ~/.globus/audit-logs.db.

Examples

This example loads the log files from the default location into the database at the default location.

sudo globus-connect-server audit load

This example loads a copy of log files pulled from a different machine.

tar xfz gridftp-audit-logs.tar.gz
globus-connect-server audit load -l ./gridftp-audit-logs

Database

While the database is designed for use with the globus-connect-server audit query and globus-connect-server audit dump commands, it is also possible to query it directly. See the database schema document for more information.
