Poem

In the cloud where data flows free,
Audit logs now bloom for all to see.
With redacted secrets, safe and sound,
CLI commands dance all around.
A bunny hops, with logs in tow—
Security’s garden, watch it grow!

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

Code Review

This pull request introduces documentation for the TiDB Cloud Serverless database audit logging feature. The documentation provides instructions on how to enable, disable, and configure audit logging using the TiDB Cloud CLI. Overall, the documentation is clear and well-structured. However, I have a few suggestions to improve clarity and consistency.

Summary of Findings

  • Inconsistent terminology: The documentation uses both 'audit loging' and 'audit logging'. It should consistently use 'audit logging'[^1].
  • Missing blank line: There is a missing blank line after the ## Configure audit logging heading[^2].
  • Typos: There are a few typos in the documentation, such as 'Loging' in the title and heading[^3].

Merge Readiness

The documentation is generally well-written and informative. However, I recommend addressing the identified issues before merging to ensure clarity and consistency. I am unable to approve this pull request, and recommend that others review and approve this code before merging.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new guide on audit logging for TiDB Cloud Serverless clusters. The guide covers enabling, disabling, and configuring audit logs via the CLI, as well as audit log redaction and best practices for analyzing audit logs. Overall, the documentation is clear and well-structured. However, there are a few areas where improvements can be made to enhance clarity and consistency, as detailed in the review comments below.

Summary of Findings

  • Title Consistency: The title in the frontmatter and the main heading of the document should be consistent. Currently, they have slight variations. [^1]
  • Grammar and Spelling: There are a few instances of grammatical errors and typos that need to be corrected for improved readability. [^2]
  • Active Voice: The documentation should use active voice to improve clarity and directness. [^3]

Merge Readiness

The pull request introduces valuable documentation for TiDB Cloud Serverless audit logging. While the content is generally good, addressing the identified issues related to title consistency, grammar, and active voice will significantly improve the quality and clarity of the documentation. I recommend addressing these comments before merging. I am unable to directly approve the pull request, and other reviewers should also review and approve this code before merging.

Hi @qiancai,

I understand your concern about the suggestions being difficult to commit directly. Unfortunately, I'm currently limited in my ability to add comments directly on specific lines. I can only provide suggestions in the form of code blocks. I'll try to make the suggestions as precise as possible to ease the commit process.

I'll keep this limitation in mind for future reviews and strive to provide the most helpful suggestions possible within the current constraints. Thanks for your understanding!

I can help review these lines. It seems like you're introducing the use of the TiDB Cloud CLI for enabling audit logging. A few things to consider:

  1. Clarity: Ensure the link to the TiDB Cloud CLI documentation is accurate and helpful. Does it directly lead to the relevant section for enabling audit logging, or is it a general reference?
  2. Completeness: Should there be a brief mention of prerequisites, such as having the CLI installed and configured with the correct credentials?
  3. Context: Consider adding a sentence or two providing context on why a user would want to enable audit logging. What benefits does it offer?


The audit logging feature is disabled by default. To audit a cluster, you need to enable the audit logging.

@gemini-code-assist, help me review the above line as a technical writer

As a technical writer, I'd suggest a few refinements for clarity and consistency:

  • Title: "TiDB Cloud Serverless Database Audit Logging" could be slightly more descriptive. Consider "Auditing TiDB Cloud Serverless Databases" or "Using Audit Logs in TiDB Cloud Serverless".
  • Summary: The summary is good, but ensure it accurately reflects the content and benefit to the user. For example, "Learn how to enable and analyze audit logs in TiDB Cloud Serverless to monitor user access and enhance security."
  • Terminology: Be consistent with "audit logging" vs. "database audit logs". Choose one and stick with it.
  • Note Box: The note box is clear, but consider rephrasing "Currently, the database audit logging feature is only available upon request" to "The database audit logging feature is available upon request only."
  • CLI commands: Ensure the CLI commands are up-to-date and accurate. Consider adding a brief explanation of what <cluster-id> represents.
  • Redaction: The redaction example is good. Consider adding a sentence explaining why redaction is important (e.g., "to protect sensitive data like passwords").
  • Call to action: Consider adding a call to action at the end, such as "Start auditing your TiDB Cloud Serverless databases today!"
