Abstract
With the increasing demand for data storage and the exponential growth of data, traditional single-server architectures are no longer sufficient to handle the massive amounts of data storage, transfer, and various file system events. As a result, distributed file systems have become a necessity to address the scalability challenges of file systems. One such popular distributed file system is Lustre, which is extensively used in high-performance computing environments. Lustre offers parallel file access, allowing multiple clients to access and store data simultaneously. However, in order to ensure the security and integrity of data, auditing plays a crucial role. Lustre auditing serves as a proof of security and enables the implementation of robust security features such as authentication with Kerberos, mandatory access control with SELinux, isolation, and more. Auditing helps track and…
