Policy configuration

Learn how to configure policies for auditing activities.

You can manage policies through the user interface. There are templates available to help you get started. These policies have a limited scope and serve the purpose to try out the audit facility.

  • “Audit a user role”: Given a user role, the audit facility will audit database operations and provide a context to these operations to allow for better interpretation of the records.
  • “Audit all logins”: Given a user, the audit facility will audit all access to the database.
  • “Audit data modification”: Given a table, the audit facility will audit all attempts to insert, update, or delete on said table.

After reviewing your audit needs, you can customize your policies through the user interface. The scope of the policy configuration is limited. To leverage the full scope of creating policies and applying them to any available database entity, use the database console or ODBC connection. For more information, see Audit policies.
