Configure Asset Collector Auditing Events

You can use CA Client Automation to configure the events that generate an audit record from the configuration section of the Asset Collector.

To configure Asset Collector auditing events

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, Events.

   The configurable audit events appear.

5. Configure the audit events to match your requirement as follows:

   Audit Accepted Assets

   Specify if an audit record is created for each successfully processed inventory file.

   Audit Reject Collect Time Future Time

   Specify if an audit record is created when an inventory file is rejected, because the collect time specified in the file appears to be a future time.

   Audit Reject Collect Time Older

   Specify if an audit record is created when an inventory file is rejected, because the collect time in the inventory file is older than a file already submitted for the same asset.

   Audit Reject Collect Time Same Day

   Specify if an audit record is created when an inventory file is rejected, because the collection time falls within the same day window of an asset already processed.

   Audit Reject Missing Values

   Specify if an audit record is created when an inventory file is rejected, because a key value in the file is missing.

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.
