Specifying Log Levels for AVCLI

When you run AVCLI, you can specify log levels to capture different categories of information or errors.

Oracle Database Security Central writes the logs to the Audit Vault Server $ORACLE_HOME/av/log directory.

• info: Logs informational and error messages

• warning: Logs both warning and error messages

• error: Logs only error messages (default)

• debug: Logs debug, error, warning, and informational messages

To specify a log level, enter the L option. For example, to invoke AVCLI as user psmith with the log level set to warning:

avcli -l warning -u psmith
AVCLI : Release 20.1.0.0.0 - Production on <timestamp>
Copyright (c) 1996, 2020 Oracle.  All Rights Reserved.
Enter password for 'psmith': <password>

Connected to:
Oracle Audit Vault Server 20.1.0.0.0

AVCLI>

To invoke AVCLI using a script and with the debug warning level:

avcli -l debug -f myscript.av

AVCLI : Release 20.1.0.0.0 - Production on <timestamp>
Copyright (c) 1996, 2020 Oracle.  All Rights Reserved.

AVCLI> Connected.

AVCLI> <the script myscript.av executes>

Note: You must be connected as a valid user who has been granted the AV_ADMIN role. You can do so using the CONNECT username/password directive.
