Enable configuration auditing


You can configure the Administration Server to emit audit messages that enable auditing of configuration changes in a domain. This provides a record of changes to the configuration of any resource within a domain or invokes management operations on any resource within a domain. Configuration audit records can be saved to a log file, sent to an Auditing provider in the security realm, or both.

For information about configuration auditing, see Configuring the WebLogic Auditing Provider. For information about security event auditing, see Audit security events.

To enable the Administration Server to emit configuration auditing messages:

  1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
  2. In the left pane of the Console, under Domain Structure, select the domain name.
  3. Select Configuration > General, then click Advanced at the bottom of the page.
  4. In the Configuration Audit Type field, select the method to be used for auditing configuration change events:
    • None - do not audit configuration change events
    • Change Log - Configuration events will be written to the server log.
    • Change Audit - Configuration events will be directed to the Security Framework and handled by the Auditing provider.
    • Change Log and Audit - Configuration events will written to the server log as well as directed to the Security Framework and handled by the Auditing provider.
  5. Click Save.
  6. To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
    Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).
