Audit object generation in a dispersed storage network

A processing system of a dispersed storage and task (DST) processing unit comprises:

• at least one processor;
• a memory that stores operational instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor cause the processing system to:
• obtain audit records for an audit object;
• determine when the audit object is complete, based on comparing a number of audit records of the audit object to an audit record threshold;
• when the audit object is complete, aggregate the audit records of the audit object within the audit object by generating the audit object to include the audit records;
• generate identifier (ID) information;
• generate integrity information;
• populate fields of the audit object with the audit records, the ID information, and the integrity information;
• determine a name of the audit object;
• and
• facilitate storage of the audit object and the name of the audit object in a dispersed storage network (DSN).

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprises:

• at least one memory section that stores operational instructions that, when executed by a processing system of a dispersed storage network (DSN) that includes a processor and a memory, causes the processing system to:
• obtain audit records for an audit object;
• determine when the audit object is complete, based on comparing a number of audit records of the audit object to an audit record threshold;
• when the audit object is complete, aggregate the audit records of the audit object within the audit object by generating the audit object to include the audit records;
• generate identifier (ID) information;
• generate integrity information;
• populate fields of the audit object with the audit records, the ID information, and the integrity information;
• determine a name of the audit object;
• and
• facilitate storage of the audit object and the name of the audit object in a dispersed storage network (DSN).
