Managing the Audit Log File  



The audit server database VMS$AUDIT_SERVER.DAT contains informationabout events to be audited, the location of the audit log file,and information used to monitor its consumption of resources.

The audit log file resides in SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]. If youshould decide to redirect the audit log off the system disk, itis important to redirect it uniformly across all nodes on the cluster.You use the command SET AUDIT/JOURNAL=SECURITY/DESTINATION=filename.Make sure that the file name you assign resolves to the same filethroughout the cluster, not a file unique to each node. The HPOpenVMS Cluster Systems Manual describes the procedurein detail.
