Administering the Audit Trail

Users who have been granted the AUDIT_ADMIN role can manage the audit trail, archive the audit trail, and purge audit trail records.

• Managing the Unified Audit Trail
  Auditing is enabled by default, but you can control when audit records are written to disk.

• Archiving the Audit Trail
  You can archive the traditional operating system, unified database, and traditional database audit trails.

• Purging Audit Trail Records
  The DBMS_AUDIT_MGMT PL/SQL package can schedule automatic purge jobs, manually purge audit records, and perform other audit trail operations.

• Audit Trail Management Data Dictionary Views
  Oracle Database provides data dictionary views that list information about audit trail management settings.
