Specifying the audit logs folder

You use the Set Audit Logs Folder dialog to specify the folder into which the Enterprise server stores audit logs as it works. The audit logs record which users perform which actions, the date and time on which the actions are performed, the applications that perform each action and the dates and times at which users log onto and log out of projects. You can display audit logs from within Server Admin.

To access the Set Audit Logs Folder dialog, select the Set Folder for Audit Logs command from the Server menu or click Set Auditing Directory.

You can enable or disable audit logging for each data source. Server Admin creates a subfolder for each data source for which audit logging is enabled. Every project in the data source has its own audit log file, <project name>.LOG, and its own usage log file, <project ID>_USAGE.LOG (where <project name> and <project ID> are the name and ID of the project respectively).

Project audit logs continue to grow indefinitely, so if you edit a project regularly, you should delete the audit log files occasionally so that they do not take up too much disk space.

To specify the audit logs folder:

  1. Select the drive and folder in which you want the server to store audit logs.
  2. Click OK to confirm your changes and close the Set Audit Logs Folder dialog.
