How is Auditing Configured?

During system configuration, you preselect which classes of audit records to monitor. You can also fine-tune the degree of auditing that is done for individual users. The following figure shows details of the flow of Oracle Solaris auditing.

Figure 28-1 The Flow of Auditing

Graphic shows identification and authentication for auditing, then the flow from audit class preselection to plugin output.

After audit data is collected in the kernel, plugins distribute the data to the appropriate locations.

Systems that install non-global zones can audit all zones identically from the global zone. These systems can also be configured to collect different records in the non-global zones. For more information, see Auditing and Oracle Solaris Zones.
