Security events on a service integration bus are logged
as audit or error records in the SystemOut.log file for the bus.
New feature: This topic
references one or more of the application server log files. Beginning
in WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 you can configure the
server to use the High Performance Extensible Logging (HPEL) log and
trace infrastructure instead of using
SystemOut.log ,
SystemErr.log,
trace.log, and
activity.log files or native z/OS logging
facilities. If you are using HPEL, you can access all of your log
and trace information using the LogViewer command-line tool from your
server profile bin directory. See the information about using HPEL
to troubleshoot applications for more information on using HPEL.

A security event is the outcome of an attempt by a connecting client
application to authenticate to a bus. There are two possible outcomes:
authentication success, and authentication failure. Success is logged
as an audit record, and failure as an error record. You can control
the type and number of audit and error records logged for a bus by
configuring a custom property for the bus, in the administrative console.
The property is a name-value pair called
audit.bus.authentication that
can have one of the following three string values:
- all
- Audit every attempt to authenticate to the bus.
- failure
- Audit only failure to authenticate to the bus.
- none
- Do not audit any attempt to authenticate to the bus.
