Adding Audit Scope

By default, database audit complies with a full audit rule, which is used to audit all databases that are successfully connected to database audit. You can also add audit scope and specify the databases to be audited.

By default, the full audit rule takes effect even if other rules exist. To make another audit rule take effect, disable the full audit rule first.

Prerequisites

  • You have applied for a database audit instance and the Status is Running.
  • Database audit has been enabled.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Select a region, click , and choose Security > 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 add audit scope.
  5. Add Audit Scope above the audit scope list.

    • 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.
    • To make a custom rule take effect, disable the full audit rule first.

  6. In the displayed dialog box, set the audit scope, as shown in Figure 1. For details about related parameters, see Table 1.
