DESIGNING FOR AUDITABILITY [1]

  • Every tool or script you run should create a log event.
  • The log event should include as much meta-data as possible, but start with who, what and when.
  • These log events should be centralized into something like Logstash.
  • Adopt JSON as your logging format.
  • Incrementally improve things over time. This is not a big project to take on.
