To enable the audit log of the Ops Center Automator server and change the audit events to be output to the audit log, first configure the environment configuration file (auditlog.conf) for the Common component. Then you must restart the Ops Center Automator server.
Note:

  • If the Ops Center Automator server is installed by using a virtual appliance, the audit log is enabled by default.

    If the Ops Center Automator server is installed by using the installer, the audit log is disabled by default. Enable the settings as required.

  • A large volume of audit log data might be output. Change the log file size and back up or archive the generated log files accordingly.
  1. Log on to Ops Center Automator as a user with Administrator permission (Windows) or root permission (Linux).
  2. Open the auditlog.conf file, which is located in one of the following locations:

    In Windows:

    Common-component-installation-destination-folder\conf\sec\auditlog.conf

    In Linux:

    Common-component-installation-destination-directory/conf/sec/auditlog.conf

    Note: The auditlog.conf file is an environment configuration file for the Common component. Therefore, if another product that uses the Common component is installed on the same host as the Ops Center Automator server, the audit log settings will be shared among both products.
    Note: When you use Ops Center Automator in a cluster environment, you must edit the auditlog.conf file on both the active and standby nodes.
  3. To enable audit logging, specify the audit event categories for the Log.Event.Category property in the auditlog.conf file.
  4. To disable audit logging, delete all audit even categories specified for the Log.Event.Category property in the auditlog.conf file.
  5. Restart the Ops Center Automator service.
