MariaDB Audit Plugin 将日志保存到 syslog

Syslog 使用广泛，对日志进行独立存储。而且有很多的工具可对 syslog 数据进行聚合、监控、查询和分析。Syslog 数据可以当成是一个中央资料库。

你也可以在 MariaDB 中将日志写到 Syslog 中，步骤很简单：

首先下载 MariaDB 的 audit 插件，下载地址：

http://www.skysql.com/downloads/mariadb-audit-plugin-beta

然后将 server_audit.so 文件拷贝到你的 MySQL/MariaDB 下的 lib/plugin 目录，并通过如下命令激活该插件：

view source

print ?

1	MariaDB [(none)]> INSTALL PLUGIN server_audit SONAME 'server_audit.so';

系统默认的日志是写到文件，我们需要改为 Syslog：

view source

print ?

1	MariaDB [test]> SET GLOBAL server_audit_output_type=SYSLOG;

2	MariaDB [test]> SET GLOBAL server_audit_events='CONNECT,QUERY';

3	MariaDB [test]> SET GLOBAL server_audit_logging=on;

相关的配置项如下：

view source

print ?

01	MariaDB [test]> show variables like '%audit%';

02	+-------------------------------------+-----------------------+

03	| Variable_name                       | Value                 |

04	+-------------------------------------+-----------------------+

05	| server_audit_events                 | CONNECT,QUERY         |

06	| server_audit_excl_users |           |                       |

07	| server_audit_file_path              | server_audit.log      |

08	| server_audit_file_rotate_now        | OFF                   |

09	| server_audit_file_rotate_size       | 1000000               |

10	| server_audit_file_rotations         | 9                     |

11	| server_audit_incl_users             |                       |

12	| server_audit_logging                | ON                    |

13	| server_audit_mode                   | 0                     |

14	| server_audit_output_type            | syslog                |

15	| server_audit_syslog_facility        | LOG_USER              |

16	| server_audit_syslog_ident           | mysql-server_auditing |

17	| server_audit_syslog_info            |                       |

18	| server_audit_syslog_priority        | LOG_INFO              |

19	+-------------------------------------+-----------------------+

20	14 rows in set (0.00 sec)

运行状态信息：

view source

print ?

01	MariaDB [test]> show status like '%audit%';

02	+------------------------------ +--------------+

03	| Variable_name                 | Value        |

04	+----------------------------- -+--------------+

05	| server_audit_active           | ON           |

06	| server_audit_current_log      | [SYSLOG]     |

07	| server_audit_last_error       |              |

08	| server_audit_writes_failed    | 0            |

09	+-------------------------------+--------------+

10	4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

确保 rsyslog 在运行：

view source

print ?

1	[root@centos1 log]# service rsyslog restart

2	Shutting down system logger: [ OK ]

3	Starting system logger: [ OK ]

现在所有连接和查询 MariaDB 的动作都会写到 syslog 日志里：

view source

print ?

1	[root@centos1 log]# tail -f /var/log/messages

2	Sep 21 00:07:07 centos1 mysql-server_auditing: centos1.localdomain,root,localhost,1,10,QUERY,,'set global server_audit_logging=on',0

3	Sep 21 00:07:11 centos1 mysql-server_auditing: centos1.localdomain,root,localhost,1,11,QUERY,,'show status like \'%audit%\'',0

4	Sep 21 00:07:21 centos1 mysql-server_auditing: centos1.localdomain,root,localhost,1,12,QUERY,,'show variables like \'%audit%\'',0

5	Sep 21 00:10:06 centos1 mysql-server_auditing: centos1.localdomain,root,localhost,1,13,QUERY,,'set global server_audit_events=\'CONNECT,QUERY\'',0

6	Sep 21 00:13:09 centos1 mysql-server_auditing: centos1.localdomain,root,localhost,1,14,QUERY,,'SELECT DATABASE()',0

7	Sep 21 00:13:09 centos1 mysql-server_auditing: centos1.localdomain,root,localhost,1,16,QUERY,test,'show databases',0

8	Sep 21 00:13:09 centos1 mysql-server_auditing: centos1.localdomain,root,localhost,1,17,QUERY,test,'show tables',0

9	Sep 21 00:13:14 centos1 mysql-server_auditing: centos1.localdomain,root,localhost,1,18,QUERY,test,'show tables',0

日志写到 /var/log/messages 文件是由 /etc/rsyslog.conf 进行配置的：

view source

print ?

1	*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages

如果你想要将日志写到不同的文件，可以：

view source

print ?

1	if $programname == 'mysql-server_auditing' then /var/log/mariadbaudit1

使用 MariaDB Audit Plugin 对安全和系统管理来说是一个好的选择。
