Auditing

Auditing is the process of maintaining detailed, secure logs of critical activities in a business environment. These activities can be related to security, content management, business transactions, and other activities.

Auditing overview
Content Engine auditing is accomplished by recording custom or system events that occur on an object. When an audited event occurs, Content Engine creates audit entries that are stored in an audit log in the object store database.
Configuring auditing
To audit changes to objects in an object store, you must enable auditing on the object store, configure audit options for each class you want to audit, and optionally configure auditing for individual properties.
Viewing audit information
You can view the audit entries for an object by viewing the object properties or by querying the audit log. From the audit log, you can view the audit entries, export the audit entries to XML for reporting and other purposes, and administer the audit log.
Managing the audit log

By default, audit entries remain in the audit log even if the audited object is deleted. Use audit disposition to control the size of your audit log when you enable auditing for prolonged periods or if you save copies of the original or modified objects to the audit log. Configuring audit disposition involves creating and enabling one or more audit disposition policies for each object store, creating an auditing configuration for the domain or site, and managing unused bookmarks.
