These raised a couple of questions
1. What are the current settings of audit in my database?
Answer: show parameter audit
2. What can you audit?
- Statements
- Privileges
- Objects
3. How do you turn on auditing?
To set the audit trail to OS, use the following and then restart the database:
SQL> alter system set audit_trail='os' scope=spfile;
To enable (or disable) the audit trail you need to set the AUDIT_TRAIL initialization parameter. You then need to restart the database. For example:
SQL> alter system set audit_trail=db scope=spfile;
4. What is being audited?
Seeing What is Being Audited
There are three views that show you what is currently being audited by the standard audit facility. DBA_STMT_AUDIT_OPTS shows you what statement auditing is enabled, DBA_PRIV_AUDIT_OPTS shows you what privilege auditing is enabled, and DBA_OBJ_AUDIT_OPTS shows you what object auditing is enabled.
SQL> select * from dba_stmt_audit_opts;
