MariaDB must generate audit records showing starting and ending time for user access to the database(s).

An XCCDF Rule

Description

For completeness of forensic analysis, it is necessary to know how long a user's (or other principal's) connection to MariaDB lasts. This can be achieved by recording disconnections, in addition to logons/connections, in the audit logs. Disconnection may be initiated by the user or forced by the system (as in a timeout) or result from a system or network failure. To the greatest extent possible, all disconnections must be logged.
