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 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.
