Chapter 2 Setting Up XSCF 2-67
2.2.7 Audit Administration
Audit administration is used to specify logging of access details, such as which users
logged in to XSCF, their login times, and the operations that they executed. In the
server, the default access audit setting is enabled. The main audit settings include
the access audit enable/disable setting (see
TABLE 2-12) and audit trail management
method (see
TABLE 2-12).
Collecting Audit Data
The server controls the audit module of XSCF firmware to provide an audit trail.
When related event information is obtained, the XSCF firmware collects audit
information as follows:
1. Audit event data is logged in the form of audit records (see
TABLE 2-12).
2. The audit records are stored in order by date in the local audit files of the XSCF
firmware (see
TABLE 2-12).
3. The audit files are linked and become an audit trail (see
TABLE 2-12).
4. Audit records are thus kept as an audit trail so that the user can refer to the Audit
trail (see viewaudit(8) ).
TABLE 2-12 lists terms used in audit administration.
