5.5 eDirectory Events

eDirectory events are partition-specific; that is, they only need to be enabled on one NCP Server object per partition. The eDirectory Instrumentation can log events from NDS version 6 or 7 and eDirectory 8.5 or higher.

For a complete list of the eDirectory events that can be logged to Novell Nsure Audit, see Section B.1, eDirectory Events.

NOTE:You do not need to restart the logging server to activate your changes in the eDirectory menu.

eDirectory events describing attribute changes store the new attribute values in the event's data field.

In the case of a few critical events, eDirectory cannot complete the transaction until the corresponding event is sent to the Secure Logging Server. This ensures that the transaction is logged to the data store. (These events are noted in the event table.)

eDirectory events such as login and logout are ubiquitous and can quickly fill your data store. Therefore, you should monitor your system's event traffic and configure your data store's expiration or roll policies accordingly. For information on the MySQL channel's expiration properties, see MySQL Channel Object. For information on configuring the File channel to purge or roll its log files, see File Channel Object.
