To Generate a Report for an Audit File (deprecated)

Note: Audit Manager is deprecated and provided for backward compatibility only. We recommend that you use syslog events instead. See Enterprise Server Auditing for more information.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

Syntax:

You use the Audit Manager Administration command line utility to do this. To generate a report for the active audit file, you must first make it available for dumping. See To Make the Active Audit File Available for Dumping.

mfauditadm -r [-o output-file-name] -f report-file-name [-d]

Parameters:

-r
Generate a report.
-f report-audit-file
An audit file in the collection for which reports are to be generated.
-o output-file-name
Name of the report file to be created. If not specified, the report file name is derived from the report-audit-file name prefix, plus a .txt extension. For example, if report-audit-file filename is mfaudit.DOCTEST.aud_3, the report file created is mfaudit.DOCTEST.txt.
-d
Mark the file as dumped.

Example:

mfauditadm -r -o auditdata.txt -f mfaudit.DOCTEST.aud_5
Note: Once an audit file has been dumped, you cannot generate a report for it, nor can you dump it again until it has been reused by the audit consolidator process.
