Configuring auditing for a class

For each class you want to audit, you must configure an audit definition. The audit definition specifies the events to be audited and other auditing options.

An audit definition includes the following elements:

You can place multiple audit definitions for the same event type on a class, for example, two audit definitions set on the Document class, both for the update event. For more information about how Content Engine determines which audit definition to use, see Configuring Multiple Audit Definitions for the Same Event.

See Guidelines for configuring auditing for some guidelines to consider when you create an audit definition.

To configure a new class for auditing

  1. In Enterprise Manager, right-click on a class folder to start the Create a Class wizard.
  2. On the Configure Auditing page, select and configure the events to be audited from the Event list. See Configure auditing for more information.
  3. Complete the wizard.

All future instances of the class will contain the audit definitions that you specified in the class.

To configure or modify an existing class for auditing

  1. Right-click the class and select Properties.
  2. Select the Audit Definitions tab and add, remove, or modify the audit events as necessary. See Class properties (Audit Definitions tab) for more information.
  3. Click OK.

New audit entries will reflect the changes that you make to the audit definition; existing audit entries are not affected.
