Kafka audit event streaming

Provide Kafka Topic as a write target for database auditing and database message logging. https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/auditing/ Auditing is currently limited to a local and editable JSON/BSON file or the system console log. The SYSLOG is not recommended by MongoDB. "The syslog message limit can result in the truncation of the audit messages. The auditing system will neither detect the truncation nor error upon its occurrence."

    MongoDB audit guarantees require that audit entry is written before a document is written to the database. The concern with writing audit entries to a remote endpoint such as Kafka is that network latency and availability can cause unpredictability in the completion of database operations. Therefore, we recommend shipping out audit logs to a remote endpoint such as Kafka or a SIEM using log forwarding tools.
