Product How-To: Enabling Report Auditing

The audit tool tracks report and data access, as well as asset dependencies. When the audit function is enabled, all report and database access is logged in the audit database. Please note that for auditing to be turned on, a database has to be configured in the Enterprise Manager, and a security provider must be specified.

Auditing can be turned on and off using the 'Enable Audit' checkbox on the 'Repository' > 'Audit' page under the Server tab. To turn on auditing:

1. Go to the 'Repository' > 'Audit' page under the Server tab.
2. Select 'Enable Audit'.
3. Entering a value in the 'Store audit records for' field to specify the number of days that audit records should be stored in the database. By default, the duration is 365 days.
4. Enter a value in the 'Check audit records at' field to specify the time of day at which obsolete audit records should be deleted.
5. Click on the 'Create Schema' button.
6. Click on the 'Apply' button.
