Audit Services

HDR auditing services let you log and monitor all HDR activities, to monitor security policy and regulation compliance by recording actions taken by users during sessions. Such actions could include invoking an API, performing a custom function, or other defined events.

HDR Configuration Manager, a GUI tool, lets security administrators define auditing policies. Implementation of HDR Audit Services includes the following steps:

• Enabling HDR Audit Services
• Initializing existing audit event types
• Creating new audit event types
• Invoking HDR Audit Services

Enabling Audit Services

The HDR Audit Service [AuditService] is a core HDR interface that lets you log and monitor HDR activities, to monitor security policy and regulation compliance—by recording actions taken during user sessions. Such event records can help detect actual or attempted violations of policy and operation procedures.

HDR Audit Services can be enabled (turned on) or disabled (turned off) globally. When enabled, audit events of all seeded and user-defined audit event types can be audited. When disabled, Audit Services is not operative.

Auditing is turned on or off by setting the profile option CTB: Auditing ON to Y or N respectively. By default, CTB: Auditing ON is set to Y on install. Use the ProfileOptionService to update this value. The profile option service API to update this profile option is:

ProfileOptionService.setProfileOptionValue
