Configure Auditing providers


An Auditing provider collects, stores, and distributes information about operating requests and the outcome of those requests for the purposes of non-repudiation. You can configure multiple Auditing providers in a security realm, but none are required. The default security realm does not include an Auditing provider.

WebLogic Server offers the following types of Auditing providers:
