🐛 常见问题 / FAQ

Q: 如何确保审计数据不被篡改？ / How to ensure audit data cannot be tampered with?

A: 使用密码学哈希链。每个条目包含前一条目的SHA-256哈希，任何修改都会破坏链条。定期运行 audit-trail verify 检测篡改。

A: Use cryptographic hash chain. Each entry contains the SHA-256 hash of the previous entry. Any modification breaks the chain. Run audit-trail verify regularly to detect tampering.

Q: 审计数据存储在哪里？ / Where is audit data stored?

A: 默认存储在 ./audit-data 目录。可通过 --storage-path 参数或环境变量 STORAGE_PATH 自定义。

A: Stored in ./audit-data directory by default. Customizable via --storage-path parameter or STORAGE_PATH environment variable.

Q: 支持分布式审计吗？ / Does it support distributed auditing?

A: 当前版本(v1.0.0)支持本地文件存储。未来版本将支持SQLite、PostgreSQL和区块链集成。

A: Current version (v1.0.0) supports local file storage. Future versions will support SQLite, PostgreSQL, and blockchain integration.
