Enabling and disabling audit logging

You use the Auditing tab of the Datasource Properties dialog to enable or disable audit logging for each data source. Server Admin creates a folder 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).

To enable or disable audit logging for a data source:

In the left-hand pane, select the data source for which you want to enable or disable audit logging.
Select the Properties command from the Datasource menu. The Datasource Properties dialog is displayed.
Select the Auditing tab.
Select or clear the Generate auditing log for datasource check box to enable or disable audit logging as appropriate.
Click OK to confirm your changes and close the Datasource Properties dialog.

You can configure Server Admin so that new data sources are set to produce audit logs automatically, by setting options for new data sources.
