Audit filters

Audit data can be controlled by using audit filters. Audit filters provide a fine grain of control over which events are audited.

Audit data producers call AuditComponent.recordAuditValues(rootPath, auditMap) once for each event to be audited. Filters are applied to reject events so that their values are never used by audit configurations. The rootPath identifies the data producer and the auditMap is the event data. The rootPath value and keys in the map represent a tree structure.

If you are using the Tomcat web application server, add the additional properties (audit filters) to the ./tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties file.

  • Creating new audit filters Audit filters are essentially global properties that specify a way of filtering audit events by specifying regular expression to include or exclude audit events. Audit filters are typically added to SkyVault-global.properties.
  • Redirected properties It is possible for one property to reference another property.
  • Debugging audit filters The PropertyAuditFilter provides log4j debug information (in the SkyVault.log file) when it rejects values. Turning on this debugger can generate large volumes of output.
