Operation Audit

audit_system_object

Parameter description: Specifies whether to audit the CREATE, DROP, and ALTER operations on the GaussDB database object. The GaussDB database objects include databases, users, schemas, and tables. The operations on the database object can be audited by changing the value of this parameter.

This parameter is a SIGHUP parameter. Set it based on instructions provided in Table 1.

Value range: an integer ranging from 0 to 134217727

  • 0 indicates that the function of auditing the CREATE, DROP, and ALTER operations on the GaussDB database object can be disabled.
  • Other values indicate that the CREATE, DROP, and ALTER operations on a certain or some GaussDB database objects are audited.

Value description:

The value of this parameter is calculated by 27 binary bits. The 27 binary bits represent 27 types of GaussDB objects. If the corresponding binary bit is set to 0, the CREATE, DROP, and ALTER operations on corresponding database objects are not audited. If it is set to 1, the CREATE, DROP, and ALTER operations are audited. For details about the audit contents represented by these 27 binary bits, see Table 1.

When SQL patches are audited and audit_dml_state_select are enabled, an SQL patch operation will be audited twice and recorded as DML and DDL operations in the audit log, respectively.

Default value: 67121159
