Monitoring and Maintaining the Audit Log

This chapter describes how to monitor authentication activity and privileged operation events in the audit log. JUNOScope auditable events are stored in the JUNOScope database and are subsequently sent to the system log server and an optional RADIUS accounting server if one is configured (see Figure 11). This chapter also describes how to purge the audit log table, after audit log records accumulate over a period of time, to reclaim disk space on the JUNOScope server.

You must have superuser permission to view the audit log.
