Administering the Audit Trail

Properly managing the audit trail on your databases ensures efficient performance and optimum use of the disk space. Users granted the AUDIT_ADMIN role can manage, archive, and purge audit trail.

• Managing the Unified Audit Trail
  Unified auditing is enabled by default, and audit trail management ensures audit configuration is efficient for your needs.

• Archiving the Audit Trail
  To maintain the integrity and reliability of audit data, keep only minimal required audit data locally in the database.

• 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.
