Setting the Audit Output Type

Syntax:

In the the Audit Manager Configuration file, you use the mfaudit.dest parameter to specify audit event output types or emitter destinations to use: to file or as SNMP events, or both.

mfaudit.dest=audit-emitter-list

Parameters:

audit-emitter-list

A list of comma or space separated audit emitter names. Emitter names are case-insensitive. The supplied emitter names are:

AUDITFILE
Trace events are written to an audit file in a binary format. The resulting file can be processed using the audit file APIs or the Audit Manager Administration Utility.
SNMP
Trace events are generated as SNMP events.

The default is: mfaudit.dest=AUDITFILE

Comments:

mfaudit.dest is used to specify the audit event output types that are to be used by the audit event consolidator instance . You can configure multiple types.

Examples:

The following entry specifies that tracing events are to be output to an audit file.
