Audit Directory

An audit directory holds a collection of audit files. A typical installation uses many audit directories. The three types of audit directories are as follows:

• Primary audit directory – A directory where the audit files for a system are placed under normal conditions.

• Secondary audit directory – A directory where the audit files for a system are placed if the primary directory is full or not available.

• Directory of last resort – A local audit directory that is used if the primary audit directory and all secondary audit directories are not available.
