Managing auditing

Auditing lets you:

Find out which events you have already captured in the Express Query database and control
what gets captured in regards to file changes in the Express Query database. See

“Audit log”

(page 167)

for more information.

Gather information from audit reports as to what is in the Express Query database. See

“Audit

log reports” (page 168)

for more information.

Audit log

The audit log provides a detailed history of activity for specific file system events. The Audit Log
panel shows the current audit configuration.

To change the configuration, click Modify on the Audit Log panel. On the Modify Audit Settings
dialog box, you can change the expiration policies and schedule, and you can change the events
that are audited. The default Audit Logs Expiration Policy is 45 days. If you need to keep audit
history for a longer period of time, increase the time period. Enable and disable event types and
groups using the checkboxes and the arrows to move events between the Disabled and Enabled
lists. If an event is not selected for auditing, it cannot be included in an audit report. By default,
all events are enabled. For significantly enhanced system performance and reduced audit log size,
if files are accessed frequently, disable the “File Read” event.
