Study on Audit for Distributed Applications: a Proposal for Simplified Audit Module Architecture
Keywords:
distributed systems, software audit, software quality, audit moduleAbstract
The tracking and audit services of an informatic system provide the possibility to record the actions performed within the system and the states of the objects, modules and of the application itself. In order to assure a scalable and secure tracking for the auditing service it is important to define the basis of the record process itself, to determine efficient ways to store and process the audit data, to improve the performance and functions that enable a better understanding and use of the event data recorded.
The paper presents the main requirements during auditing process in the context of informatic systems and proposes a simplified solution for implementing them in software distributed systems.References
