Getting events to show after changing options

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 2 Dec 2005

Q:
I've installed the NSure Audit starter pack on NetWare 6.0 with SP5 and configured everything according to TID10091433. MySQL, lengine, auditds and auditnw all load without any errors (and stay loaded), events are logged into the database according to settings on server object and I can query the events. The only problems are that Filesystems events (File open, create and directory remove etc.) don't log.

A:
You may need to stop and start (auditstp and auditagt) the platform agent after changing the audit event options. Although the current docs read "You do not need to restart the logging server to effect changes to NSure Audit attributes in the NCP Server object", the platform agent and the Secure Logging Server still need to be restarted to re-read their configuration. So, I have always restarted the instrumentation when changing it.
