Capturing DSE Search HTTP Requests

DataStax Enterprise Search nodes support queries through the Apache Solr™ HTTP API. To log HTTP requests, additional configuration is required on each search node. In the web.xml uncomment the filter-mapping element.

Procedure

Locate the Solr web.xml file. The location of this file depends on the type of installation:
- Package installations: /usr/share/dse/solr/web/solr/WEB-INF/web.xml
- Tarball installations: <installation_location>/resources/solr/web/solr/WEB-INF/web.xml

On all DSE Search nodes, uncomment the filter-mapping element in the web.xml file.

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>DseAuditLoggingFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Here is an example of the data audit log of a Solr query:

host:/10.245.214.159|source:127.0.0.1|user:jdoe|timestamp:1356045339910|category:QUERY
  |type:SOLR_QUERY|ks:wiki|cf:solr|operation:/wiki.solr/select/?q=body:trains
