Audits and Observables

To learn about auditing and how it is leveraged in Grey Matter, see the usage documentation on audits. To enable auditing, follow the steps below.

Steps to enable auditing and visualization

To set up Grey Matter with auditing and visualize the audits in a Kibana dashboard, step through the guides in the following order:

1. Deploy an ELK stack. If you already have an ELK stack that you wish to use, skip to step 2.

2. Configure auditing to kafka on a Grey Matter sidecar.

3. Configure the Kibana dashboard to visualize audits.

If you don't want to install a full ELK stack, but want to configure auditing to a Kafka cluster, install a cluster on its own, make sure its servers are reachable from your Grey Matter sidecar's and follow step 2 only.

If you'd like to inspect audits without installing kafka, follow the setting filters guide.
