[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-3164) Create customized Audit Logger

[Kabir Khan (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12956766#comment-12956766 ] 

Kabir Khan commented on WFLY-3164:
----------------------------------

One issue is that we currently only handle two kinds of 'events':
-controller audit events 
-jmx audit events

There is talk of supporting more events like authorization done, connection opened etc. so what we come up with needs to be flexible enough to handle those, and possibly more events like that in the future. The concern being if a user implements a custom formatter for 9.0.0, and we add some more events for 9.1.0 their custom formatter should still work although more events were added for 9.1.0.

A half-baked idea, take with a pinch of salt, is that perhaps for the custom formatter we could have a reference back to one of the WF provided handler types as a 'fallback' for events not handled by the custom formatter.

> Some users want to have a single line audit log formatter. I think it would be better to have the ability to add your own formatter from a module, something along the lines of:
> {code}
> <custom-formatter code="org.blah.MyCustomFormatter" module="org.blah/mymodule">
>    <property name="layout">...</property>
>    <property name="propB">...</property>
> </custom-formatter>
> {code}
> We'd need an SPI, and a slight reworking of the audit log internals. In any case doing this will put us in a better position to provide the single line logger if this proposal is not acceptable to our users.
