Archiving Audit Messages
You can specify how and when to archive audit messages.
To access
the Audit Manager you must be a member of the Administrators Group.
The Audit Log Management agent moves audit messages from
the portal database into a collection of archive files and deletes
old archive files based on the settings you configure in the Audit
Manager. The Audit Log Management agent runs in the Audit Log Management
Job, created upon installation and stored in the Intrinsic
Operations folder. By default, this job runs daily. To
change the frequency, edit the Audit Log Management Job.
- Click Administration.
- In the Select Utility drop-down
list, click Audit Manager.
- Under Archiving Agent, specify the
settings for your auditing archive:
- In the Network path of archive files box, type the path to the folder in which you want to store audit
archive files.
- In the Days to keep messages in database box, type the number corresponding to how many days worth of messages
you want to store in the portal database.
Only messages in the portal database are available for audit
query. After the specified amount of time, messages are moved from
the database into the archive files.
- In the Days to keep messages in files box, type the number corresponding to the number of days you want
to store the message files.
After the specified period, messages are deleted from these
files and no longer available.
