Audit Logs

Is it required to activate the audit log in production? If not, are there other tools/reports that can provide similar data? BTW, I'm using ECC6.

If I were to activate this, what things should I be aware of in configuring SM19? Are there any parameters that need to be changed? What should I do with the logs? Should I be checking the logs everyday? Do these logs take a lot of space? Can these logs be deleted?

I know I still have a lot to learn being a newbie to this so I really appreciate all your replies.

Hi ,

you need to refer to documentation for optimum performance

This note - 451960 will give AIS role concept and Installation recommendation

and just for information following profile parameters need to be set to activate the AIS.

Profile Parameter Description

rsau/local/file This parameter defines names and locations of the audit files. (This was an optional parameter starting with 4.6C. It no longer exists in Web Application Server 6.30.)

rsau/max_diskspace/local This parameter defines the maximum space to allocate for the audit files.

rsau/selection_slots This parameter defines the number of filters to allow for the security audit log.

still you have to refer to full documentation

thanks
