File-Monitor Database Integration Architecture

Date: 2025-10-06 Status: Design Document Related: ADR-022 (Audit Logging), ADR-023 (File Change Tracking)

Overview

This document describes the complete architecture for integrating the file-monitor Rust module with FoundationDB (running in Google GKE) for persistent audit logging and querying.

System Architecture (Multi-Tenant)

Key Multi-Tenant Features:

  • Isolated Namespaces: Each tenant has separate /tenant/{id}/audit/* key prefix in FoundationDB
  • JWT Authentication: All API requests require JWT with embedded tenant_id
  • Tenant Validation: Every database operation validates tenant_id before executing
  • No Cross-Tenant Access: Impossible to query another tenant's data
  • Shared Infrastructure: Backend services are shared, storage is isolated
  • Per-Tenant Statistics: Track usage, storage, and quotas per tenant

Data Model

FoundationDB Key Structure (Multi-Tenant)

FoundationDB uses ordered key-value pairs. We design keys for efficient querying with tenant isolation:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ FoundationDB Key Space (Multi-Tenant) │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ /tenant/{tenant_id}/audit/{timestamp_utc}/{event_id} │
│ → Primary storage (Value: Full JSON event) │
│ → Tenant isolation: Each tenant has separate namespace │
│ │
│ /tenant/{tenant_id}/audit/by_file/{file_path}/{ts}/{event_id} │
│ → Index by file (Value: event_id reference) │
│ → Scoped to tenant, prevents cross-tenant access │
│ │
│ /tenant/{tenant_id}/audit/by_type/{event_type}/{ts}/{event_id} │
│ → Index by event type (Value: event_id reference) │
│ → Tenant-scoped event type queries │
│ │
│ /tenant/{tenant_id}/audit/by_checksum/{checksum}/{ts}/{event_id} │
│ → Index by checksum (Value: event_id reference) │
│ → Find duplicate files within tenant workspace │
│ │
│ /tenant/{tenant_id}/audit/by_user/{user_id}/{ts}/{event_id} │
│ → Index by user within tenant (Value: event_id reference) │
│ → Track specific user activity in tenant workspace │
│ │
│ /tenant/{tenant_id}/audit/by_session/{session_id}/{ts}/{id} │
│ → Index by session (Value: event_id reference) │
│ → Query all events in a specific IDE session │
│ │
│ /tenant/{tenant_id}/metadata/stats │
│ → Tenant-level statistics (event count, storage used) │
│ │
│ /tenant/{tenant_id}/metadata/config │
│ → Tenant configuration (retention policy, quotas) │
│ │
│ /global/tenants/{tenant_id} │
│ → Tenant metadata (creation date, owner, plan) │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Key Benefits:

  • Complete Isolation: Tenants cannot access each other's data
  • Efficient Scans: Range queries automatically filtered by tenant prefix
  • Scalable: Add new tenants without schema changes
  • Auditable: Track which tenant accessed what data
  • Quota Enforcement: Per-tenant storage limits and rate limits

Event JSON Schema (Multi-Tenant)

{
"id": "uuid-v4",
"tenant_id": "tenant-acme-corp-abc123",
"timestamp_utc": "2025-10-06T12:54:12.025979644Z",
"event_type": {
"type": "created" | "modified" | "deleted" | "renamed",
"modification_type": "content" | "metadata" | "permissions"
},
"file_path": "/workspace/src/main.ts",
"user_id": "user-123",
"process_name": "monitor",
"checksum": "c160bd30370fe767c09e1f5d6c1c230b9a712850d135a007bb1db2ff6627ed94",
"file_size": 24,
"metadata": {
"session_id": "session-456",
"agent_id": "code-generation-agent",
"task_id": "task-789",
"diff": "@@ -1,1 +1,2 @@\n-old line\n+new line\n",
"lines_added": 1,
"lines_removed": 1
}
}

Tenant ID Format:

  • tenant-{organization}-{random} (e.g., tenant-acme-corp-abc123)
  • Immutable after creation
  • Used in all FoundationDB key prefixes
  • Verified on every API request via JWT token

Storage Strategy

Write Path (Critical - Low Latency)

Optimizations:

  1. Batching: Group writes every 100ms or 50 events (whichever first)
  2. Async Writes: Non-blocking, fire-and-forget for non-critical events
  3. Checksums: Only for files < 100MB
  4. Indexes: Written in parallel transactions
  5. Compression: JSON compressed with LZ4 before storage

Read Path (Query Performance)

Optimizations:

  1. Index Scans: Use secondary indexes for filtering
  2. Pagination: Limit 100 results per page
  3. Caching: Redis cache for hot queries (last 1000 events)
  4. Parallel Fetches: Fetch multiple events concurrently
  5. Lazy Loading: Load event details on-demand

Data Retention & Archival

Archive Process:

  1. Daily Job (runs at 2 AM UTC):

    • Scan events older than 90 days
    • Export to Google Cloud Storage (Parquet format)
    • Verify archive integrity
    • Delete from FoundationDB
  2. Archive Format:

    gs://audit-logs-archive/
    ├── 2025/
    │ ├── 10/
    │ │ ├── events-2025-10-01.parquet
    │ │ ├── events-2025-10-02.parquet
    │ │ └── ...
  3. Query Hybrid Data:

    • Query API checks both hot (FDB) and cold (GCS) storage
    • Cache frequently accessed archive data
    • Parallel queries for performance

Integration Code Examples

2. AuditLogService (TypeScript)

// src/services/audit-log-service.ts

if (event) events.push(event);
}
});

return events;
}
}

Note: The above getFileHistory(), getEvent(), and getEventsByType() methods are the legacy non-multi-tenant implementation. For multi-tenant support, update these methods to accept tenantId as the first parameter and use tenant-scoped keys like /tenant/${tenantId}/audit/.... See the updated logFileChange() and flush() methods above for reference.

3. Main Application Integration (Multi-Tenant)

// src/index.ts
import { FileMonitorService } from './services/file-monitor-service';
import { AuditLogService } from './services/audit-log-service';
import { getTenantIdFromSession } from './auth/tenant-resolver';

async function main() {
// Initialize services
const auditService = new AuditLogService();
await auditService.init();

const monitorService = new FileMonitorService('/workspace');

// Connect monitor events to audit log (multi-tenant aware)
monitorService.on('event', async (event) => {
// Extract tenant ID from session/auth context
const tenantId = getTenantIdFromSession();
await auditService.logFileChange(event, tenantId);
});

monitorService.on('error', (err) => {
console.error('Monitor error:', err);
});

// Start monitoring
await monitorService.start();
console.log('File monitoring started');

// Graceful shutdown
process.on('SIGTERM', async () => {
await monitorService.stop();
process.exit(0);
});
}

main().catch(console.error);

Query API Examples

REST API Endpoints (Multi-Tenant)

// Middleware to extract tenant ID from JWT
function extractTenantId(req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
const token = req.headers.authorization?.replace('Bearer ', '');
if (!token) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Unauthorized' });
}

try {
const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET!);
req.tenantId = decoded.tenantId;
next();
} catch (err) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid token' });
}
}

// Apply tenant middleware to all audit routes
router.use('/api/audit', extractTenantId);

// GET /api/audit/file/:path (tenant-scoped)
router.get('/audit/file/:path', async (req, res) => {
const { path } = req.params;
const { limit, startTime, endTime } = req.query;
const tenantId = req.tenantId;

const events = await auditService.getFileHistory(tenantId, path, {
limit: parseInt(limit as string) || 100,
startTime: startTime as string,
endTime: endTime as string,
});

res.json({ events });
});

// GET /api/audit/type/:type (tenant-scoped)
router.get('/audit/type/:type', async (req, res) => {
const { type } = req.params;
const { limit } = req.query;
const tenantId = req.tenantId;

const events = await auditService.getEventsByType(tenantId, type, {
limit: parseInt(limit as string) || 100,
});

res.json({ events });
});

// GET /api/audit/session/:sessionId (tenant-scoped)
router.get('/audit/session/:sessionId', async (req, res) => {
const { sessionId } = req.params;
const { limit } = req.query;
const tenantId = req.tenantId;

const events = await auditService.getEventsBySession(tenantId, sessionId, {
limit: parseInt(limit as string) || 100,
});

res.json({ events });
});

// GET /api/audit/stats (tenant-scoped)
router.get('/audit/stats', async (req, res) => {
const tenantId = req.tenantId;

const stats = await auditService.getTenantStats(tenantId);

res.json({ stats });
});

// GET /api/audit/changes/:path (tenant-scoped)
router.get('/audit/changes/:path', async (req, res) => {
const { path } = req.params;
const tenantId = req.tenantId;

// Get only events where checksum changed
const events = await auditService.getFileHistory(tenantId, path);
const changes = events.filter((evt, idx) => {
if (idx === 0) return true;
return evt.checksum !== events[idx - 1].checksum;
});

res.json({ changes });
});

Security Notes:

  • All API endpoints require JWT authentication
  • Tenant ID is extracted from JWT token (not from request params)
  • Each request is automatically scoped to the authenticated user's tenant
  • No cross-tenant data access is possible
  • Rate limiting should be applied per-tenant

Monitoring & Observability

Disaster Recovery

Backup Strategy

Recovery Time Objectives (RTO):

  • Critical failure: < 15 minutes (switch to standby)
  • Complete rebuild: < 4 hours (restore from backup)

Recovery Point Objectives (RPO):

  • Data loss: < 5 minutes (continuous backup lag)

Quota Enforcement

// Add to AuditLogService

}
});

return count;
}

Tenant Isolation Diagram

Security Considerations

  1. Encryption at Rest: FoundationDB data encrypted with AES-256
  2. Encryption in Transit: TLS 1.3 for all network communication
  3. Access Control: IAM roles for GKE, RBAC for FDB
  4. Audit Trail: All database operations logged
  5. Data Privacy: PII detection and redaction in metadata
  6. Compliance: GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA compatible
  7. Tenant Isolation: Cryptographic separation via key prefixes
  8. JWT Security: RS256 signing, short expiry (15min), refresh tokens
  9. Rate Limiting: Per-tenant rate limits prevent DoS
  10. Quota Enforcement: Automatic enforcement prevents abuse

Next Steps
