Configure Asset Collector Auditing

The Asset Collector maintains an internal cache of audit events and sends them to the scalability server when certain thresholds for size or age are reached. You can use CA Client Automation to customize the threshold values to match your environment.

To configure Asset Collector auditing

1. Open the DSM Explorer and navigate to the Control Panel, Configuration, Configuration Policy node.
2. Right-click a sealed policy and select Un-Seal.

   The policy is unsealed.

3. Expand the unsealed policy.

   The policy expands.

4. Navigate to DSM, Scalability Server, Asset Collector.

   The Asset Collector policies appear on the Asset Collector pane.

5. Modify the following configuration parameters to match your environment:

   Audit Log: Max Age

   Define the maximum age, in seconds, that the audit log queue must reach before it sends the audit log to the scalability server for inclusion in the MDB.

   Audit Log: Wait Period

   Define the polling period, in seconds. The polling period is used to verify the audit log queue and age by the audit component.

   Audit Log: Max Queue Size

   Define the maximum number of items allowed in the audit log queue before it is sent to the scalability server for inclusion in the MDB.

6. Right-click the policy node and select Seal from the menu.

   The policy is sealed.

7. Drag-and-drop the policy onto the scalability server in the All Computers folder.

   The policy is applied to the scalability server.
