Management an Audit Scope

After adding an audit scope, you can view, enable, edit, disable, or delete the audit scope.

Prerequisites

  • You have purchased a database audit instance and the Status is Running.
  • The audit scope has been added.
  • Before enabling, editing, or deleting the audit scope, ensure that the status of audit scope is Disabled.
  • Before disabling the audit scope, ensure that the status of audit scope is Enabled.

Precautions

By default, database audit complies with a full audit rule, which is used to audit all databases that are connected to the database audit instance. This audit rule is enabled by default. You can disable it but cannot delete it.

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Select a region, click , and choose Security & Compliance > Database Security Service. The Dashboard page is displayed.
  3. In the navigation tree, choose Rules.
  4. In the Instance drop-down list, select an instance to view audit scope.
  5. View the audit scope information, as shown in Figure 1. For details about related parameters, see Table 1.
