Deleting old Audit logs

Hi all

In our Organization, as in the data retention policy we have to keep checking for only 4 years. Now he must clean all old checks before that. So basically, if an account was created 5 years back, we must keep checking only for the last 4 years and remove auditing for one year.

Any suggestions how we can achieve this?


Thank you
Gerard

Have you looked into the STANDARD audit log maintenance task: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19225-01/820-5822/byaua/index.html

You should be able to delete data prior to X.

I hope this helps.

  • Alert & Audit Log purge script example

    Hi Experts,

    Can someone point to examples of scripts for

    1 alert & purge the audit log?

    2. rotation of log listener?

    I'm sorry if issues look too naïve, I'm new to DBA activities; pls let me know if more details are needed.

    From now the script must be independent of the versions/platforms

    Kind regards

    If auditing is enabled in Oracle, it generates newspapers or she inserts into a SYS. Table?

    Well, that your settings initialization of the 'check' show?

    For the newspaper of the listener "rotation", just rename listener.log to something else (there is an OS command for that), then bounce the listener.

    You don't want to purge the log of alerts you want to 'rotate' as well.  Just rename the existing file to something else. (there is an OS command for this)

    So this has to be managed at the level of operating system instead of having a utility. Also if this is the case, this must be done when the database is stopped in right?

    No, the database doesn't have to be stopped to rotate the log of the listener.  The database does not give a flying fig on the log of the listener.

    No, the database doesn't have to be stopped to rotate the log of alerts.  If the alert log is not there when he needs to write for her, it will just start a new.  BTW, since 11g, there are two newspapers to alert... the old familiar, now located in $ORACLE_BASE/diag/rdbms / $ORACLE_SID / $ORACLE_SID/trace and the xml file used by adrci.  There are orders adrci and configurations to manage it.

    Yet once again, I leave the details as exercise for the student to exercise his research skills.

    Please confirm my interpretation.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Really can you not remove old flashback logs?

    We would really use flashback, but if I understand well you can't delete the old flashback logs without bounce the database. They are removed automatically only if space is needed for something else, for example the archivelogs.

    Old flashback of flb files seem to sit around until space is needed. At the level of the BONE volumes often look almost full they don't?

    It's one thing allocate a lot of storage space on our server files NAS Netapp (for unexpected growth), but its another thing if most of it is being used unnecessarily.

    Am I missing something or is this a really bad 'function' flashback.

    See you soon!

    Yes, oracle will remove newspapers flashback in itself every time they need space.

    If you want to use flashback you can reduce the size of you FRA while oracle will think it's full and it automatically deletes the logs.

  • All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile.

    All IT gurus out there who know Firefox... have lost the passwords saved when FF created a new profile and delete old files key3.dbf and logins.json profile. Any ideas, anyone?

    So it's not a logins.json file?

    I see a signons3.txt file and a file signons.sqlite older, if you can try to see if you can import passwords stored in this file.

    You can force Firefox to re-import the passwords in the file signons.sqlite and regenerate the file logins.json with the following steps:

    • reset the signon.importedFromSqlite pref on the topic: config page by default via the context menu
    • Delete the logins.json file in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder

    When you restart Firefox, then you should have the pref signon.importedFromSqlite with the value set to true.
    You have passwords that are imported in the password manager, unless there were errors or signons.sqlite signons3.txt.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

  • How di I remove/delete old Java Console in the addon list?

    How di I remove/delete old Java Console in the addon list?

    go to "c:\program files\Mozilla Firefox extensions" or anywhere where you installed ff

    you will find a few files

    Discover those starting with "{CAFEEFAC.

    {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000 -0023- ABCDEFFEDCBA}
    It would be the version 6.0.23

    {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000 -0024- ABCDEFFEDCBA}
    version 6.0.24 and so on

    Just delete the corresponding folder and restart firefox!

    now for those who want to make sure that you remove the right thing:
    inside these files, you will find a file called 'install.rdf '. Open it with Notepad. search for "em: name. You should find "Java Console".
    OK, don't the module you think you are in the folder appropriate for java.
    next step is to find the "em: version. This should give you "6.0.23" or something similar. If it's the old version not appearing in your add-ons Manager, then simply delete the corresponding {CAFEEFAC-file. you can do it even with ff ongoing enforcement, but must start again to dismiss the old writing.} If not, just check the others until you find the version you want to get rid of.

    hope this helps

    Cheers!
