Audit service provider settings

Use this page to define the implementation details of the audit service provider. There are three types of audit service providers: binary file-based, third party and SMF.

To view this administrative console page, click on of the following paths:

Name

Specifies the unique name associated with the audit service provider.

Third party emitter class name

Specifies the name of the class for this implementation. This field is only present for Third party emitter implementations.

Audit file location

Specifies the path to the binary log file.

Audit file size

Specifies the maximum size of a single binary log file. This value is defined in megabytes.

Maximum number of audit log files

Specifies the maximum number of binary log file to create before the oldest is replaced.

Note: The maximum number of logs does not include the current binary log that is being written to. It is a reference to the maximum number of archived (timestamped) logs. The total number of binary logs that can exist for a server process is the maximum number of archived logs plus the current log.

Event formatting module class name

Specifies a class used to format the generic event into a format that is specific to the audit service provider implementation. For example, a third party audit service provider implementation might have an event formatting class that takes the generic event and translates it into XML data.

Selectable filters

Specifies the available event filters. To enable a filter for an implementation, select the filter from the Selectable event filters list and then click >.

Enabled filters

Specifies the event filters that are currently enabled for an implementation. To disable a filter for an implementation, select the filter from the Enabled filters list and then click <.

Custom properties

Specifies any custom properties that might be used to add properties to a third party implementation. Custom properties are not available for binary file-based implementations or SMF implementations.
