Audit event codes and fields

The secure-auditing facility audits certain database server events.

If you are using the onshowaudit utility, auditable events on each database server generate event codes. These codes represent actions on the server that can indicate possibly illegitimate usage or tampering.

Important: The Informix® secure-auditing facility audits only the events that the following table lists. You might encounter additional SQL statements that the secure-auditing facility does not audit.
Table 1 shows the audit-event information in alphabetic order by event code:
  • The Event Code column has the acronym that database server utilities use to identify audit events.
  • The Event column shows the event name.
  • The Variable Contents column has other categories of onshowaudit information that are displayed for the event on that row. The categories of information are:
    • tabid
    • dbname
    • objname
    • extra_1
    • partno
    • row_num
    • login
    • flags
    • extra_2

    For some events, the onshowaudit utility puts two different pieces of information in the extra_2 field. In this case, the two parts are separated by a semicolon.

  • The Notes section after the table provides more information about some of the entries in the Variable Contents column.
Tip: Granted lists can be long for statements such as GRANT and REVOKE. If the list for an event to be audited does not fit into a single record, the database server creates several audit records to carry the complete information.
