This PR implements NRI audit logging for OCI Spec adjustments, which has been identified as one of the missing things we need to add (be)for(e) a v1.0. This patch

  • adds an extended generator option for runtimes to set an external audit event logger, and
  • updates the generator to use the configured logger for audit messages when an OCI Spec is adjusted

Here are updated trees for contained and CRI-O:

Add an option for setting an external audit event logger
and use any configured logger to emit audit events as we
adjust the OCI Spec.

Cool.. Maybe add a little more detail to the short explanation in the README.md maybe links to the containerd/crio use of these opts. (where the integration test happens)

@samuelkarp I have a few questions.

Related to the approach taken here, is this roughly what you had in mind ? Related to event details, how detailed events do we want to log, and do we want to log them unconditionally ? The PR now logs unconditionally and detailed events, except in a few extreme cases where details could get really verbose. But should it be configurable, or should details be logged at a different logging level ? About the logged events/messages. The main messages are now exposed consts, with the idea that someone might want to build some tooling where it can come handy to have them exported. But I don't know if this really makes sense. Any thoughts ?

Thanks for jumping on this, @klihub.

You raised some important questions in your comment that I think we should probably settle on before finalizing the implementation. Since o11y is a key requirement for GA, could we open a GitHub issue to agree on the specific design goals and requirements first?

We can treat this PR as a PoC to inform that discussion, but I'd feel more comfortable if we aligned on the "what" and "why" in a design issue before we iterate further on the "how" here.

I created issue #270 for that.
