BTW: this is very simple to implement (the audit WAR I don't think is even 50K) and it
deploys in the hawkular nest module extension that is deployed in Wildfly as just another
subsystem along with the bus infrastructure (which itself is just another bus subsystem).
Right now the prototype uses an in-memory H2 DB for simplicity's sake, but its
pluggable so you can store the audit events anywhere (I have a listener that merely logs
the events in the jboss log file, as an example - but we can store them in a real RDBMS
too).

This sounds awfully similar to my Hawkular "audit"
component I've been
prototyping :)
https://github.com/jmazzitelli/hawkular-audit
In short, its just sitting on the bus listening for audit events (these audit
events can come over JMS or through REST, such as I demoed a few weeks ago
with curl on the command line submitting an audit event) and when received,
those audit events are simply stored to a backend datastore for later
retrieval by whatever we want (GUI front end, reporting tool, etc).
