Audit Logging with the Solaris BSM Audit Log

Message Queue supports audit logging. When audit logging is enabled, Message Queue generates a record for the following types of events:

• Startup, shutdown, restart, and removal of a broker instance

• User authentication and authorization

• Reset of a persistent store

• Creation, purge, and destruction of a physical destination

• Administrative destruction of a durable subscriber

Message Queue supports logging audit records to the Message Queuebroker log file and to the Solaris BSM audit log:

• To log audit records to the Message Queue broker log file, set the imq.audit.enabled broker property to true . All audit records in the broker log contain the keyword AUDIT.

• To log audit records to the Solaris BSM audit log, set the imq.audit.bsm.disabled broker property to false .

  Note –

  To log audit records to the Solaris BSM audit log, you must run the broker as root, and /usr/lib/audit/Audit.jar must be in the broker classpath.
