We are developing an application using Tardigrade and were hoping to get more insight into when our users are using Tardigrade storage.
Would it be possible to add a feature to Tardigrade that allows users (with appropriate permissions) to to see metadata about when paths have been accessed. Full logs of data accesses (reads/writes/created) would be perfect, but if that is not possible then information about the last read/write would still be helpful for our use case.
E.g. User1 would upload sj://bucket1/file1 . “Last write” and “created” would be set to the current time.
User1 would share access with User2, who would read sj://bucket1/file1 and “last read” would be set to the current time.
For our use case we don’t need this data to be actually stored as “metadata” on a Satellite. If it was accessible via an external API that would also work.
It sounds kind of like you are describing an audit trail. I can’t confirm is this is currently on our road map, but it feels like a logical progression of the platform.
If there is anymore detail I can find I’ll be sure to comment here.
Hey @pigfrown, this specific feature is not currently on our roadmap but it’s certainly something we can consider adding! I would love to learn more about your use case and what you are trying to achieve/ solve.
Yes an audit trail would be very useful, glad to hear that it might get added
The use case is as follows:
We want to share read only access to a bucket/path with a 3rd party so they can download the files, but revoke the access macaroon after they have read the data. A log of accesses would accomplish this but other methods would also work. E.g. a macaroon that automatically expired after X uses. I just assumed that access logs would be useful in other use cases and be more likely to get implemented.
