Audit Logs
For a specific user (or group of users), you can configure Surveyor/400 to create audit logs (trails) for each of the following events:
- When database records are edited (added, changed, deleted). - When database records are exported (downloaded) from the iSeries. - When database records are imported (uploaded) to the iSeries. - When SQL statements are executed. - When spooled files are exported from the iSeries.
These auditing features are provided in the base package of Surveyor/400 (there is no add-on fees).
Audit Logs for File Editing
Audit entries can be created by Surveyor/400 to log any records which a user adds, changes or deletes through the File Editor. You can choose to perform audit logging to either a Spooled file or a Database file. Audit entries can also be configured to store either field-level or record-level detail.
