Audit Hook

Hooks are a way to have trigger-like capabilities in lightblue that span any datastore. Lightblue provides at least one hook for auditing changes to data. There is a set of core capabilities around hooks that is provided with core lightblue.

The Audit Hook is a specific hook implementation that can be used to track changes to an entity's data over time. This document covers how to configure the audit hook for an entity to track a subset of fields. It uses the country entity used in openshift-lightblue-cart.

Source for the audit hook is in the lightblue-audit-hook repository.
