Audit Element

Audit elements define general audit settings. The Audit element contains one or more AuditEvent elements.

An Audit element includes the following parameters:

• enabled—Determines the status of auditing in the current environment. The valid values are as follows:
  • True—Auditing is enabled for this environment.
  • False—There is no auditing for this environment.

  Note: Use lowercase letters when you specify true or false.

• auditlevel—Indicates the type of information recorded for attributes involved in the task or event.

  The audit level that you specify for the Audit element applies to all attributes, unless a different audit level is defined in the AuditEvent, AuditProfile, or AuditProfileAttribute elements. Audit levels set in these elements override the audit levels defined in an Audit element.

• datasource—Specifies the name of the datasource for the audit database.

  The datasource name should be auditDbDataSource.

  Note: For more information about the audit database, see the Installation Guide.
