NexoAudit

:::danger Ineffective contract

The Operator accepts this Kind, but its fields are not translated into the current runtime audit configuration.

:::

This page documents the current development contract. Schema acceptance, Operator reconciliation, and runtime enforcement are separate claims; the status above is authoritative.

Purpose and relationships

Exposes a schema for audit sink and body-capture intent; it does not provide supported audit output in the current release.

A NexoPipeline can reference this object, but the CRD emits sink and includeRequestBody/includeResponseBody while the runtime expects a different configuration shape.

Spec field reference

The table is derived from the installed Nexo Edge CRD OpenAPI schema. “Not declared” means the schema publishes no default. A missing schema description is reported explicitly rather than inferred from implementation.

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultSchema description
spec.sinkstringNoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.
spec.includeRequestBodybooleanNoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.
spec.includeResponseBodybooleanNoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.

Status fields and conditions

FieldTypeRequiredDefaultSchema description
status.readybooleanNoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.
status.observedGenerationinteger (int64)NoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.
status.configHashstringNoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.
status.conditionsarray<object>NoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.
status.conditions[].typestringNoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.
status.conditions[].statusstringNoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.

status.conditions[].lastTransitionTimestring (date-time)NoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.
status.conditions[].observedGenerationinteger (int64)NoNot declaredNo description is declared in the CRD schema.

A Ready or configHash value proves that the Operator accepted/hashed the object; it does not by itself prove runtime execution or policy enforcement.

Reconciliation and watch behavior

The registered controller validates the resource and records status. Data-path changes are applied only when the relevant NexoProxy controller rebuilds or reloads the owning graph.

At startup, the current NexoProxy controller installs a typed watch when the CRD is discoverable. A CRD installed after Operator startup requires an Operator restart before that reference watch is added.

Runtime execution effect

None through the current Operator contract. Do not rely on this Kind for audit records, redaction, integrity, retention, or compliance evidence.

Example

Use placeholders and validate in a non-production namespace first. For schema-only or ineffective kinds, this example is for schema inspection only and must not be used as evidence of enforcement.

# No deployable example is available until the CRD and runtime audit fields are aligned.

Update and reconciliation caveats

  • Apply component and pipeline changes before expecting the owning NexoProxy graph to change.
  • Check metadata.generation, status.observedGeneration when present, and the owning Proxy graphRevision/appliedRevision after every update.
  • A successful kubectl apply proves only schema admission; inspect Operator conditions, generated configuration, rollout state, and runtime behavior separately.

Release-specific limitations

  • The API is v1alpha1 and has no conversion webhook or second served version.
  • The CRD schema is retained by Helm and can outlive the Operator release that installed it.
  • Current documentation can describe unreleased development behavior; verify the exact deployed bundle and image digests.

Inspect with kubectl

kubectl get nexoaudits --namespace <namespace>
kubectl describe nexoaudits <name> --namespace <namespace>
kubectl get nexoaudits <name> --namespace <namespace> -o yaml
kubectl get crd nexoaudits.nexo.io -o yaml

For resources participating in a Proxy graph, also inspect:

kubectl get nexoproxy <proxy-name> --namespace <namespace> \
-o jsonpath='{.status.phase}{" graph="}{.status.graphRevision}{" applied="}{.status.appliedRevision}{"\n"}'
kubectl get nexopipeline <pipeline-name> --namespace <namespace> -o yaml
