Other Constraints

  • If SSL is enabled for a database, the database cannot be audited. To use database audit, disable SSL first.
  • Ensure the VPC of the database audit instance is the same as that of the node (application side or database side) where you plan to install the database audit agent. Otherwise, the instance will be unable to connect to the agent or perform audit.
