Database Audit

Availability

This feature is available as of openGauss 1.1.0.

Introduction

Audit logs record user operations performed on database startup and stopping, as well as connection, DDL, DML, and DCL operations.

Benefits

The audit log mechanism enhances the database capability of tracing unauthorized operations and collecting evidence.

Description

Database security is essential for a database system. GaussDB 200 writes all user operations in the database into audit logs. Database security administrators can use the audit logs to reproduce a series of events that cause faults in the database and identify unauthorized users, unauthorized operations, and the time when these operations are performed.

Enhancements

version 6.0.0: Integrate tool audit log into databases to monitor activities such as backup, recovery, and other operations.
