Configuration Best Practices › Batch CA Auditor Interface

Batch CA Auditor Interface

We recommend that you use the CA Auditor batch interface to simplify and automate routine audit processing. The CA Auditor batch interface is also known as the Silent Auditor.

Business Value:

The CA Auditor batch interface provides an easy-to-use mechanism whereby you can capture CA Auditor functions as batch audit scripts and subsequently execute them in a batch job environment on a repeatable, as-needed basis. Using the batch interface saves time and streamlines the cost of performing repetitive auditing functions.

Using the batch interface lets you establish constant auditing that monitors critical system configuration elements. This proof of constant auditing and compliance oversight can help satisfy compliance requirements.

Additional Considerations:

For example, when setting up a full audit regimen using CA Auditor, the results may list different tasks to be executed at different time intervals with each task corresponding to a different batch audit script. When used with automated job scheduling solutions, such as CA 7 Workload Automation or CA Scheduler Workload Automation, each individual batch audit script can run automatically at the desired intervals.
