Auditing

Auditing logs maintain records of the operations performed in an Identity Manager environment. You can use the data in audit logs to monitor system activity.

Identity Manager audits events. An event is an operation that is generated by an Identity Manager task. A task can generate multiple events. For example, the CreateUser task may generate the CreateUserEvent and the AddToGroupEvent events.

By default, CA Identity Manager exports all event information to the audit database. To control the type and amount of event information that Identity Manager records, you can do the following:

• Enable auditing for Identity Manager admin tasks.
• Enable auditing for some or all of the Identity Manager events generated by admin tasks.
• Record event information at specific states, for example, when an event completes or is cancelled.
• Log information about attributes involved in an event. For example, you can log attributes that change during a ModifyUserEvent.
• Set the audit level for events and attributes.
