Ambari Audit log

[#1]

Where can I find an audit trail of every changes done via Ambari ? I would like something similar to the configuration diff that we can do using the UI with the addition of the username.

Eg Olivier has changed umask to 077 in hdfs-site on Monday 5th of December 2014 at 2:20:21.123

I've found /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-config-changes.log but it doesn't show the specific change which has happened. I understand that I've got the version and i can diff w/ the previous version but i was wondering if we were recording it somewhere else.

Looks useful, but exactly which python binary is this intended to work with? It fails immediately with a complaint about not being able to find the 'request' package. I grepped the /usr/hdp tree, but cannot find a 'request.py' module.

The python script is using the following modules:

requests
json
getpass
logging
sys
getopt

On most of the systems you only have to install getpass and requests.

Requests is not python script, its a complete package that makes it easier to submit API requests, see this page http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/ (You can install it with "pip install requests")

Let me know if you need any help with the script, I am happy to help and improve the script 🙂
