Should we remove the SecurityLogging ?

[chaen]

Similarly to the system logging, the security logging is made obsolete by the centralized logging.

This line in the security logging file

2019-12-11 14:36:26.063077, True, ::ffff:134.158.49.148, 38930, [fstagni:lhcb_mcproc](/DC=ch/DC=cern/OU=Organic Units/OU=Users/CN=fstagni/CN=693025/CN=Federico Stagni), lbvobox102.cern.ch, 9166, Accounting/DataStoreHelper, RPC/commitRegisters

appears in the centralized logging as such

{

  "_type": "doc",
  "_id": "-g5j9W4Bkahmagh1xKRD",

    ]
  },
  "sort": [
    1576074986000
  ]
}

So, should we remove it along with the System Logging ?

[atsareg]

Security logging should be kept for a certain while according to legal requirements. This was never explicitly requested so far, but should be checked if anybody is asking for this info to be stored for a certain period (6 or 12 months or ...)

[chaen]

we can keep the data, but we could remove the service

[fstagni]

Flag added in #5760. Should

• check for instructions once more
• remove the service in a later stage

[fstagni]

#6561 swaps the default flag.
Service will be removed from 8.2

[fstagni]

There won't be any 8.2, and the SecurityLogging service won't be added to diracx. Enough to close this issue.
