Before you can create audit reports or use the
sample audit reports that come with IBM® Cognos® software, you must set
up audit reporting.
Procedure
- Direct log messages to a database.
Set up
a logging database and configure log messages to be sent to the database.
For information about configuring log messages, see the IBM Cognos Business
Intelligence Installation and Configuration Guide.
Important: The logging database must be separate from the Content
Store database.
- Set the logging level for audit reports.
For
audit reporting, set the logging level to Basic (auditing enabled)
or Request. If you set the logging level to Minimum, auditing is disabled.
Use Full logging and Trace levels only for detailed troubleshooting
purposes, under the guidance of Customer Support. They may significantly
degrade server performance.
For more information about logging
levels, see Set Logging Levels.
- Enable native query logging. For more information, see Native Query Logging.
