About Security in OVO Auditing
OVO distinguishes between modes and levels of audit control:
❏ Mode
Determines who is permitted to change the level of auditing. See
“Types of Audit Modes” on page 513 for more information.
❏ Level
Determines what kind of auditing information is being collected. See
“Types of Audit Levels” on page 514 for more information.
Audit information can be written to a report for future review, and can be
displayed in the OVO Reports window. You can view these reports on
your screen, write them to a file, or print them.
CAUTION Download audit information regularly from the database if you have set
the audit level to Administrator Audit and you are running OVO in a
large environment with a high number of managed nodes and users.
Otherwise, your database may quickly run out of space.
To find out how to configure auditing, see the OVO Administrator’s
Guide to Online Information.
Types of Audit Modes
Your company policy determines which auditing mode you use:
❏ Normal Audit Control
Default mode after installation. You can change the level of auditing
in the Configure Management Server window.
❏ Enhanced Audit Control
Can only be set by the user root, and cannot be reset without
re-initializing the database. See the man page opc_audit_secure(1M)
for more information about configuring enhanced audit control.
