Enterprise Vault auditing
Enterprise Vault includes flexible auditing that you can enable for individual Enterprise Vault servers. The auditing events are written to a SQL Server database - you can have a single auditing database for all Enterprise Vault Servers in a site.
For example, the audit events record the following:
The time an event occurred
The account that initiated the event
The archive in which an item was archived
The category of the event, such as View, Archive, or Delete
You can enable auditing for a number of different types of event, showing for example, details of the following:
Actions taken using the Administration Console
Searches
Viewing an item
Deletions
For most types of event you can specify detail levels of Summary or Details, or both:
Summary gives information about the event, such as the date and time, account used, vault used.
Details lists more information, such as extracts from the content of a message, for example Subject, Mailbox Owner, and Folder.
Note that there will be a slight reduction in performance when you enable auditing.
By default, auditing is disabled.
For information on how to set up auditing, see the Auditing guide.
