Before Setting Up the Development Environment

To develop audit collection plug-ins, you must first set up the development environment. This set up provides a consistent environment for developing and testing the collection plug-ins.

Before you set up a developer environment, you must complete the following tasks:

• Obtain and install Oracle DBSecCentral 20: You must have this version so that you can test the collection plug-in execution and determine whether it captures the correct audit records from the target, and makes them available in the server. Also, doing early end-to-end integration tests helps to eliminate any connectivity problems, and other bugs in your code.

• Decide the type of collection plug-in to use.
